Patients who experience substantial changes in blood pressure over time have an increased risk of developing dementia.
A new DNA vaccine tested in mice significantly reduces tau and amyloid beta, two proteins implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, researchers say, may pave the way for clinical trials in humans with the neurodegenerative disease.
A new study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms behind ALS.
A new study reports traumatic brain injury is associated with a higher risk of developing dementia in people of working age. However, the researchers found no association between TBI and other neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS or Parkinson's disease. Researchers hope their findings will improve rehabilitation treatments and long term monitoring of TBI patients.
Copies for CAG and CTG triplets repeat themselves numerous times and disrupt normal gene sequences in some neurodegenerative diseases, a new study reports.
A new study describes two distinct stages of prion disease.
Researchers report brain tissue of horses that died from equine grass sickness contains a build up of amyloid beta, a protein associated with human Alzheimer's disease.
