Can bilingualism protect the brain even with early stages of dementia?

Neuroscience NewsFebruary 13, 2020

While being bilingual delays the onset of dementia, the decline into full-blown Alzheimer's disease is more rapid in those who speak two or more languages than in monolingual people.... Read More...

Objective subtle cognitive difficulties predict amyloid accumulation and neurodegeneration

Neuroscience NewsJanuary 1, 2020

Amyloid accumulation occurs faster in those who have objectively-defined cognitive difficulties than older people who are considered to be cognitively normal. Mild cognitive impairment is also associated with faster hippocampal and entorhinal cortex atrophy.... Read More...

Drugs that quell brain inflammation reverse dementia

Neuroscience NewsDecember 4, 2019

A synthesized small-molecule drug blocks the TGF-beta receptor in astrocytes and traverses the blood-brain barrier in mice. When administered, the drug lowered receptor activity to that seen in younger mice and reduced inflammation. The aged mice were able to navigate mazes and learn spatial tasks as well as younger mice.... Read More...

Exercise could slow withering effects of Alzheimer’s

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 17, 2019

For those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and other risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, participating in aerobic exercise several times a week may slow neurodegeneration. Aerobic exercise reduced hippocampal atrophy in those with MCI. ... Read More...

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...

Adults with mild cognitive impairment can learn and benefit from mindfulness meditation

Neuroscience NewsAugust 16, 2019

Older adults with mild cognitive impairment who practiced mindful meditation for 20 minutes a day were more likely to have an understanding of the underlying concepts of mindfulness. The study demonstrates memory impairments associated with MCI do not preclude learning mindfulness skills.... Read More...
