The loss of fat metabolizing protein PPARalpha in the hippocampus can lead to dementia, a new study finds.
Researchers use peanut butter as a new tool to diagnose early stage Alzheimer's disease.
Axon pruning becomes reactivated in neurodegenerative diseases, a new study finds.
Using transgenic mice, researchers find a lack of autophagy in neurons prevents the secretion of amyloid beta and the formation of β-amyloid plaques in the brain.
Congressman Fattah introduces a new resolution in the U.S House of Representatives which supports the goals of World Alzheimer's Month.
A shortage of zinc may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Researchers report on how intranasal medications can be better absorbed and could provide more effective treatments for neurological diseases.
Researchers find the amino acid, BMAA, can be inserted into neuroproteins. This causes them to misfold and aggregate. BMAA has been detected in the brains of those with ALS.
Researchers have identified and validated two rare gene mutations which could be a cause for late onset Alzheimer's disease.
A new study validates a proposed new system which helps to identify and classify people with preclinical Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers find brain regions associated with memory shrink as adults age. This decrease in size is more pronounced in those who later develop neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's.
Proteins which control the visual system development in young brains could also affect vulnerability to Alzheimer's disease in the aging brain, a new study reports.
