Embarking on a six-month aerobic exercise regime may help reduce cognitive decline for older adults living with Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Altered pain perception could be a new biomarker to assess late-onset Alzheimer's risk in cognitively healthy individuals with the AopE4 gene before symptoms occur. Read More
A new series of studies review the roles neuroplasticity and neurogenesis play in alcohol addiction and recovery. Read More
While gut microbes may be associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, gut fungi are not, a new study reports. The study refutes the speculation gut anti-fungal treatments are helpful for Parkinson's patients. Read More
Major surgery can trigger different patterns of cognitive alterations depending on previous presence, or absence, of Alzheimer's pathologies. Read More
A new study adds to the growing body of evidence that the origin of Huntington's disease is rooted in childhood. Researchers say the HTT gene mutation affects both brain and body growth during development, and the increased susceptibility of brain cell death begins early in life. Read More
Early postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapy may protect some women from developing Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Obesity and higher body mass are linked to decreased cerebral blood flow. Lower cerebral blood flow is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and a range of psychiatric disorders. Read More
Study reports success in treating cognitive decline and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease with the aid of personalized precision medicine. Read More
Caffeine and urate have been associated with a reduced risk of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Researchers noted a lower caffeine intake in idiopathic Parkinson's patients. Increasing caffeine consumption was linked to decreased odds of being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Lower levels of blood urate were also associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease.
