Findings could help in the development of treatments to prevent brain inflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Both the default mode network and salience network in superagers had stronger connectivity than typical older adults and similar connectivity as younger adults. Superagers performed similarly to young adults and better than typical older adults in recognition and episodic memory tasks.
Positive psychology exercises have significant benefit in boosting mood for those recovering from substance addiction, a new study reports.
Researchers report testing both the cognitive and olfactory abilities in people could help identify those at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
Males on the autism spectrum have significantly lower levels of a protein in their brains' that plays a role in inflammation and metabolism.
New, advanced EEG technology allows researchers to easily visualize brain activity during sleep.
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence algorithm designed to examine existing drugs as potential Alzheimer's treatments.
Sevoflurane, an anesthetic, causes tau to leave neurons and enter microglia. This stimulates the production of interleukin-6, leading to inflammation and cognitive impairment.
Ezogabine, an antiepileptic drug, reduces the excitability of cortical and spinal motor neurons associated with ALS.
A new automated method can identify and track the development of tau deposits in the brain. The method could lead to an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers implicate neurons within the dorsolateral septum in the regulation of fearful behaviors in mice.
The accumulation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins disrupts the connections between brain regions associated with memory years before symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear.
