Alzheimer’s May Disrupt Nerve Insulation Without Reducing Myelin

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins at the critical interface between axons and their myelin sheath. Scientists found structural abnormalities in the paranode region, where myelin attaches to axons, including clogged nutrient channels and protein buildup that could block signal transmission.

The image shows the structure of the LRRK2 protein.

Dementia Diagnoses Decline, But More Are Living Longer With the Disease

A new study of over 25 million Medicare recipients found that while dementia incidence in the U.S. is declining, more older adults are living longer with the condition. From 2015 to 2021, new diagnoses dropped from 3.5% to 2.8%, yet prevalence increased to nearly 12%.

Study Finds Link Between TBI and Parkinson’s, But Not Alzheimer’s

According to a new study, people with a history of TBI are at an increased risk for developing some neurodegenerative diseases later in life. However, TBI's don't appear to be linked to a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease.
