Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method of measuring Tau levels in the blood. Read More
A new study links poor sleep quality in older adults with elevated levels of tau, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report poor sleep quality later in life may be associated with declining brain health and may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
According to a new study, clinically depressed children show a blunted response to reward compared to those who were not depressed. Read More
New research could lead to the development of treatments to correct mitochondrial dysfunction associated with Charcot Marie Tooth disease. Read More
Study in mice and humans reveals reinforcing the activity of microglia could slow, or potentially halt, the proliferation of Tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A meta-analysis of papers about implicit bias finds little evidence that changing a person's biased beliefs alters their behavior. Read More
WUSTL researchers have converted skin cells into motor neurons without going through the stem cell state. The new technique could help in the development of devastating neurodegenerative diseases, like ALS, that affect motor neurons. Read More
A new study suggests blocking estrogen may help preserve eyesight in girls with NF1. Read More
A new study published in brain reveals that just one night of sleep disruption causes an increase in amyloid beta in the brains of healthy, middle aged people. A full week of sleep disturbances leads to a build up of Tau, another protein associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The study sheds light on why poor sleep has previously been associated with the development of Alzheimer's and other dementias. Read More
Researchers have identified specific points on chromosome 11 that increase the risks of developing both cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. The study reports managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels could help to reduce Alzheimer's risk. Read More
Researchers report the auditory cortex may encode noises differently that was previously thought. Read More
A new study reveals intermittent fasting successfully reduces multiple sclerosis like symptoms. Mice who fasted every other day were less likely to develop motor problems associated with the disease. Read More
