Hippocampus Shrinkage Linked to Cognitive Decline Beyond Alzheimer’s

A new study indicates that hippocampal shrinkage in the brain is associated with cognitive decline, independent of amyloid-beta plaques, a key marker of Alzheimer's disease. The study suggests that neurodegenerative diseases other than Alzheimer's contribute to cognitive decline.

Metabolic Rise in Hippocampus Unveils Alzheimer’s Early Footprint

Researchers reveal a surprising early phase in Alzheimer’s disease development: a metabolic boost in the hippocampus. Studying mice resembling human Alzheimer's pathology, they observed increased mitochondrial metabolism followed by synaptic disruptions due to hindered cellular recycling.

Less Deep Sleep in Seniors May Be A Silent Alarm for Dementia Risk

A mere 1% reduction in deep sleep yearly for those above 60 translates to a 27% higher dementia risk. Monitoring 346 participants over 60 from the Framingham Heart Study, the research observed declining deep sleep patterns and found 52 dementia cases in 17 years.

Surge in Dementia Cases by 2040 Expected

Research suggests that by 2040, the number of people living with dementia could reach 1.7 million, marking a significant increase of over 40% from previous projections. While data up until 2010 indicated a decline in dementia incidence in high-income countries, the trend started reversing after 2008. Furthermore, the study sheds light on an increasing disparity in dementia incidence rates between educational groups.

Common Fungus Might Fuel Alzheimer’s Onset

Researchers explored the link between the fungus Candida albicans and Alzheimer's disease. They found that C. albicans produces enzymes breaking down the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to access the brain and produce toxic amyloid beta-like peptides, typically associated with Alzheimer's.

Graphene Oxide Nanoflakes May Be A Potential Ally Against Alzheimer’s

Researchers explore graphene oxide nanoflakes as a promising tool in battling Alzheimer's disease, a devastating condition impacting over 40 million people globally. In a groundbreaking study, yeast cells accumulating harmful amyloid peptides linked to Alzheimer’s demonstrated recovery post-treatment with these nanoflakes.

Mystery Behind Neuron Death in Alzheimer’s Decoded

Researchers have unveiled the mystery behind neuron death in Alzheimer's disease. A groundbreaking study reveals that neurons undergo a programmed cell death, necroptosis, when exposed to amyloid plaques and tau tangles, hallmark proteins linked to Alzheimer's.

Sit Less, Think More: Over 10hr Sedentary Time A Day Hike Dementia Risk

Adults over 60, who engage in more than 10 hours of sedentary behavior daily, have a heightened risk of dementia. The study revealed that the pattern of sedentary behavior throughout the day mattered less than the total hours spent.
