Alzheimer’s Brain Barrier Damage Theory Could Pave Way for New Treatments

Lipids entering the brain as a result of damage to the blood-brain barrier may be a determining cause of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say simple lifestyle changes could reduce Alzheimer's risks by reducing the impact on the BBB and decrease Alzheimer's associated brain damage.

Female Hormones Could Provide Clues to Higher Risk of Dementia in Women

Certain reproductive events, such as early menstruation, early menopause, and hysterectomy were linked to an increased risk of a woman developing dementia later in life. Women who experienced pregnancy or who entered into menopause later were at a lower risk for dementia.

Loss of Neurons, Not Lack of Sleep, Makes Alzheimer’s Patients Drowsy

Degeneration of neurons associated with wakefulness, and not a lack of sleep, makes Alzheimer's patients more drowsy. The degeneration of these neurons is caused by the tau protein. In PSP, the damage to the neurons was associated with symptoms of sleep deprivation.
