Cognitive reserve measured through IQ predicted the steepness of cognitive decline in aging men, but not women.
Food insecurity was associated with accelerated cognitive decline and brain aging in older adults.
Even modest consumption of alcohol can accelerate brain atrophy and increase amyloid plaque formation. The findings reveal alcohol consumption can accelerate Alzheimer's disease pathologies.
Tracking hippocampal neurons in mice as they watched a movie revealed novel ways to improve artificial intelligence and track neurological disorders associated with memory and learning deficits.
Fructose produced by the brain can lead to inflammation and ultimately Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.
Findings of a new study suggest more research needs to be done to identify the major factors contributing to the rate of cognitive decline associated with aging.
The interaction of Tau with RNA is a key stage in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Using theranostics to pinpoint and treat the earliest, preclinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, researchers say their new method shows promise in stopping the progression of Alzheimer's pathologies before the onset of irreversible neural damage.
Ultra-processed foods have been linked to accelerated cognitive decline associated with aging and an increased risk of developing dementia. Researchers say it may be possible to mitigate some negative dietary effects on cognition by adopting a healthier diet, such as the keto or Mediterranean diet.
A new method dubbed STARmap PLUS was utilized to track and map changes in tau and amyloid beta in the brain as Alzheimer's disease progressed in mouse models.
Loneliness and a lack of social support contribute to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. The findings add to the growing body of evidence linking social isolation to Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers discovered a correlation between obesity-related neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease pathology. Losing weight, they say, can slow age-related cognitive decline and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's.
