The higher a man's IQ, the more likely he is to partake in betting on horse races, a new study concludes.
The findings of an extensive meta-analysis study reveal vitamin D supplementation may help to alleviate symptoms of depression.
Regular exercise modulates iron storage and trafficking in the brain and skeletal muscles, and physical activity reduces cortical hepcidin. The findings reveal how exercise can be beneficial for those with Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have created a new algorithm based on blood and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers to help detect dementia.
Loneliness in middle-aged men increased the risk of them developing cancer by 10%.
PLCG2-P522R, a genetic variant that protects against Alzheimer's disease, enhances key functions of immune cells.
Study reveals a link between amyloid-beta accumulation in the brain and lower levels of insulin and insulin resistance.
A new deep learning algorithm can distinguish different sleep stages. The technology could help with diagnosing sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea.
Alzheimer's patients who used antipsychotics had a 29% increased risk of head injury and a 22% higher risk of TBI compared to others with the neurodegenerative disease who did not use the medications.
Researchers discovered increased inflammatory activity in a subgroup of patients with frontotemporal dementia. The increased inflammation was indicated by elevated levels of cytokines known to increase inflammatory response and decreased levels of IL-10, which reduces inflammation. The inflammation was associated with Parkinsonism's symptoms and rapid cognitive and functional decline. The study also revealed patients with FTD are less likely to develop cancer.
APOE4 increases the inflammatory response of human microglia while reducing cellular migration. The gene also impairs the metabolic activity of the immune cells. The findings show APOE4 has a profound impact on the basic functions of microglia.
Schizophrenia is linked to alterations in pathways associated with glycosaminoglycan, neurotransmitter metabolism, and GABAergic synapses. A large percentage of genes related to schizophrenia are expressed differently between males and females. The results imply the mechanisms involved in schizophrenia development differ, at least slightly, between males and females.
