In patients with cognitive decline, the cerebral spinal immune system is dramatically altered. The findings shed light on how inflammation and the immune system play a role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
According to researchers, Alzheimer's disease may be more prevalent in women, not simply because they live longer on average, but due to the APOE E4 gene. Researchers found the APOE association was greater for women in the Tau pathway than in men. However, there was no difference between APOE expression in the amyloid pathway in women compared to men.
Researchers report an MRI test to measure smaller volumes in specific hippocampal regions could be used to detect Alzheimer's disease.
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.
Findings may prove helpful in diagnosing neurological conditions from vascular dementia to hydrocephalus.
Researchers have developed a method using MRI to identify when HIV is still present in the brain, despite effective drug treatment.
A new study reports a subset of patients, the HIV virus started to replicate in the brain within the first four months of infection.
A molecular cascade could help doctors provide early diagnosis of Alzheimer's through a simple blood test, a new study reports.
A new study points to a newly discovered system in which the brain removed waste as a potential new tool to treat neurodegenerative disorders.
