Parkinson’s Drug Restores Memories in Alzheimer’s

Severe dopamine dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex is a primary, hidden mechanism behind Alzheimer's-related memory impairment. Researchers found that dopamine levels in this vital memory gateway drop to less than 20% of normal, causing localized neurons to stop encoding memories altogether.

Overall Brain Health Protects Memory From Early Alzheimer’s

Why do some brains withstand the earliest onslaught of Alzheimer’s disease without showing cognitive decline? A new study demonstrates that maintaining good overall brain health can actively defend memory, attention, and executive function from early Alzheimer’s-related pathology.

Rogue Antibodies Drive Tau Pathology

A new study establishes a direct causal link between IgLON5 antibodies and Tau pathology. By applying patient antibodies to mouse models, the team discovered that antibody-induced clustering of cell-surface IgLON5 proteins sparks profound neuronal hyperactivity.

Targeting Brain “Clean-up” Cells to Fight Dementia

Researchers discovered that dysregulated circadian rhythms cause microglia, the brain’s immune cells, to become "stress-primed" and malfunction. This state prevents them from clearing amyloid plaques, accelerating dementia risk. Now, using DARI seedling grants, Souza is testing a stem-cell-derived "EV therapy" designed to keep these cells healthy and prevent neuroinflammation.
