Study reports modifying twelve risk factors over your lifetime could reduce dementia risk by 40%. Read More
The genes GRB10 and ABTB1 are influential in nutrient-sensing pathways and memory. Researchers say these genes may be the molecular links between diet, neural stem cell aging, and cognitive ability. Read More
Those with a genetic predisposition to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can become resilient to the neurodegenerative disease by remaining physically and mentally active. Read More
While genetics may increase your risk of developing dementia, other factors such as lifestyle and environment may play a key role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Disputing other findings, researchers report there is no direct link between inflammation and depression. The study reports depression may only have a link to inflammation as a result of specific lifestyle features, such as smoking or obesity. Read More
Living a healthier lifestyle appears to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in older adults with high genetic risk factors. Read More
The area where you live may play a significant role in your risk for developing major diseases like cancer, diabetes or cardiovascular disease, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers report, for those with a genetic mutation that causes Alzheimer's disease, 2.5 hours of physical activity per week may delay cognitive decline and have beneficial effects on tau in the brain. They speculate the same may be true for those with more common forms of the neurodegenerative disease. Read More
