Antibiotic treatment alleviates Alzheimer’s disease symptoms in male mice

Neuroscience News
Study reports specific gut bacteria can influence the development of Alzheimer's disease. In mouse models, long term antibiotic treatment reduced inflammation and the formation of amyloid plaques. However, the reduction was only seen in males. Additionally, the antibiotic treatment altered the activation of microglia in the male mouse models.... Read More...

When is Alzheimer’s not Alzheimer’s? Researchers characterize a different form of dementia

Neuroscience News
LATE, a form of dementia that appears in the oldest-old is often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease, but the brain pathology is very different. The protein TDP-43 appears to play a significant role in the development of LATE. The neurodegenerative disease may progress more gradually than Alzheimer's, but when combined with Alzheimer's disease (a common combination), appears to cause a more rapid decline than either would alone....

New Scan Technique Reveals Neuroinflammation Associated with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome

Neuroscience News
A new neuroimaging study reveals 12 people with documented post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome have an elevation of a chemical marker associated with neuroinflammation. The findings could help develop new treatments for the pain, fatigue and brain fog associated with PTLDS.... Read More...
