How the eyes might be windows to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 15, 2019

Adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease, have greater pupil dilation when taking cognitive tests than their cognitively normal peers. Task-evoked pupillary response may be a cost-effective, and low invasive screening test for those at genetic risk for Alzheimer's before the symptoms of the disease take hold. ... Read More...

Poor oral health linked to cognitive decline and perceived stress

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 4, 2019

Poor oral health has been linked to cognitive decline and increased symptoms of stress. Stress increases symptoms of dry mouth, which can lead to poor overall oral health. Those with tooth related symptoms, such as toothaches and cavities, are more likely to experience declines in cognition and episodic memory.... Read More...
