Disrupted Fat Breakdown in the Brain of Mice Makes Them Dumb

Blocking the breakdown of a specific fat molecule in the the brains of mice lead to reduced learning ability and memory retention. Additionally, researchers noted an increase of Alzheimer's related proteins. Findings may help explain how dementia may develop in humans, researchers say.

Drug Restores Cells and Memories in Alzheimer’s: Mouse Study

A new drug has proven effective at restoring memories and neural connections in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. The new drug was originally developed as a treatment for Schizophrenia. While the drug does not destroy amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's, it does allow the plaques to co-exist with neurons.

The image shows a normal brain slice and a brain slice of with severe AD.

Never Before Seen Images of Early Stage Alzheimer’s Disease

New technology allows researchers to produce images that predate the formation of amyloid beta in the brain. The findings have prompted researchers to suggest stabilizing the protein, rather than attempting to limit it, in order to reduce Alzheimer's symptoms.

Alzheimer’s Disease Might Be a ‘Whole Body’ Problem

Using a technique called parabiosis on pairs of mice, researchers discover what they call 'cancer like mobility' of amyloid beta, reporting it can travel to the brain from other parts of the body.

This image shows stained slices from the study.

Viral Connection to Alzheimer’s: Herpes Virus Implicated in Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers provide evidence that certain species of human herpesvirus contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. The study reports high levels of human herpesvirus 6A and 7 were found in brain samples showing signs of Alzheimer's neuropathology. The findings offer hints of the viral mechanisms that could trigger or exacerbate AD.
