Restless Sleep May Be an Early Sign of Parkinson’s

People who suffer from REM sleep behavior disorder are at increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease and dementia as they age, a new study reports. Researchers report RBD causes a lack of dopamine in the brain, and this can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Chemo Brain Starts During Cancer’s Progression, Not Just After Treatment

Chemotherapy is often blamed for memory loss and cognitive problems in cancer survivors. However, new research published in Neuroscience challenges this belief. Researchers report cognitive impairments, often referred to as Chemo Fog, may actually start as the tumor grows and develops.

Astrocytes Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers have discovered a direct association between astrocytes and Alzheimer's disease. In a new study, researchers report astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer's patients produced significantly more amyloid beta than astrocytes in the brains of people without the disease.

Middle Age Inflammation Linked to Brain Shrinkage Decades Later

According to a new study, people who have inflammation biomarkers in their blood during middle age are more likely to have increased brain shrinkage as they grow older. Researchers report the brain cell loss associated with inflammation was most prevalent in areas affected in Alzheimer's disease.

Brain’s Response to Mid-Life Surge in Cell Aging Starts or Ends Path to Dementia

University of Texas researchers report neurons in the mouse brain tend to surge at the equivalent of human age 40. During this period, interleukin33 also surges in healthy mice. In those lacking the gene, neurodegeneration occurred, eventually resulting in dementia.

‘Drain Pipes’ in the Brain: Lymphatic Vessels Act As Pipeline Between Brain and Immune System

A new study in eLife provides evidence that our brains may drain waste via our lymphatic vessels. The vessels may act as a 'pipeline' between the brain and immune system. Researchers say the findings could alter the way we think about how the brain and immune system inter-relate.
