Researchers show memory pathology in older mice can be reversed by blocking the activity of a specific receptor in the brain. Blocking the B1R receptor helps recover memory and cerebrovascular function.
Researches report higher levels of the satiety hormone CCK could decrease a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
A new mouse study reveals long term exposure to bacteria associated with periodontal disease causes neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, leading to similar effects of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report periodontal disease may be an initiator of Alzheimer's.
A new study reveals how the production of p75NTR protein oscillates in time with the body's natural circadian rhythm and how these oscillations help regulate vital metabolic functions. The findings offer an insight into how circadian rhythm helps maintain the body's overall metabolic health.
Researchers have identified a link between anticholinergic medications, including antidepressants and incontinence drugs, and an increased risk of developing dementia later in life.
A new study reviews how well different types of neuroimaging tests work to detect and track the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study reports carriers of APOE4 could have reduced risk of cognitive decline associated with parasitic infection.
Study questions whether smell loss associated with COVID-19 infection may increase the risk of developing dementia later in life.
Two new studies of veterans draw a link between PTSD and accelerated, premature aging.
A new study reports neuroinflammation could have a direct involvement in the development of CTE.
A new genetic engineering strategy significantly reduces levels of tau in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. The treatment, which involves a single injection, appears to have long-last effects.
Two short cycles of a low-calorie diet that mimics fasting reduced inflammation and delayed cognitive decline in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report the diet is safe for humans and could help reduce signs of Alzheimer's.
