Researchers have identified four distinct subtypes of Alzheimer's disease. The findings could lead to more individualized treatments for those with the neurodegenerative disorder. Read More
Study reports tau accumulation in the temporal lobe was 75% higher in women than men. Read More
A new app combines basic data with information about specific biomarkers found in an individual's blood to assess the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease within two to four years. Read More
Tau spreads through the human brain via neural communication pathways. The spread is accelerated by the presence of amyloid-beta. Read More
Researchers have developed a new model of early embryonic brain development. The model, called MiSTR, allows researchers to create tissue that contains different brain regions and place them next to each other. The model produces results similar to embryonic brain development at five weeks post-fertilization. Read More
By the age of six months, infants can recognize when an adult imitates them and perceive the imitator as more friendly. Read More
The neuropeptide NPY reduces seizures in human brain tissue. Read More
A new blood test to detect biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease is set to undergo trials in the Fall. The test will be able to identify traces of amyloid beta in blood samples with a high degree of accuracy. Read More
Neurofilament light protein in plasma may be a noninvasive biomarker for neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers report the great tit, a common European songbird, has similar impulse control to that of larger, more cognitively advanced animals. Read More
Researchers report they have discovered where the earliest signs of Alzheimer's may occur in the brain. Initial accumulation of Alzheimer's associated amyloid beta was discovered in an important functional network, the default mode network. Read More
Researchers at Lund University have developed a new imaging method that can help doctors detect and track Alzheimer's disease in people of different ages more effectively. Read More
