A new study from researchers at Boston University reports an increase in later life emotional and behavioral problems in people who played youth tackle football before the age of 12.
Until now, chronic traumatic encephalopathy could only be diagnosed post-mortem. Researchers have identified a potential biomarker that could help diagnose CTE during a person's lifetime.
Researchers present a new model for the biology of Alzheimer's disease in a Nature Neuroscience study. They note the findings could help lead to a new approach to treating the neurodegenerative disease.
A new study of football players who were diagnosed with CTE reveals those who started playing tackle football before the age of 12 had earlier onset of emotional and cognitive problems.
Researchers have identified a possible neurological biomarker for long term learning. The brain wave biomarker could allow educators to attempt new educational techniques to improve long term learning by measuring the results via EEG testing.
Studying the exomes of 6,000 Alzheimer's patients and 5,000 without the disease, researchers have identified new rare variations in genes that may contribute to dementia.
A new study reveals carriers of the ApoE4 gene who have chronic inflammation are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
A new study identifies a genetic mutation that may influence the severity of CTE.
Two rare genetic variants on the NOTCH3 and TREM2 genes have been identified in some Alzheimer's patients.
Study reveals a moderate correlation between depression and mortality in veterans with HIV, but not among those without HIV infection.
PET imaging of former NFL players who exhibited cognitive decline and psychiatric symptoms linked to CTE showed higher levels of tau in areas of the brain associated with the neurodegenerative disease.
Light physical activity has positive benefits for brain health as we age. Spending an hour participating in light intensity physical activity was associated with the equivalent of 1.1 years less brain aging. Every additional hour spent exercising was linked to higher brain volume.
