Blood Clues to Long-COVID Brain Fog Discovered

Researchers have discovered two blood biomarkers that could predict cognitive deficits, including "brain fog," up to a year after a COVID-19 diagnosis. The study analyzed data from over 1,800 hospitalized patients and identified high levels of fibrinogen and d-dimer, proteins linked to blood coagulation, as being highly correlated with cognitive issues.

How Live Viola Music Calms Epilepsy Patients

Patients undergoing testing for epilepsy often experience significant distress when their medication is reduced to provoke seizures. However, a recent study reveals that listening to live improvisatory viola music helps these patients achieve a meditative state, as shown by EEG measurements.

Two-Step Blood Test Sharpens Alzheimer’s Diagnosis

Researchers have developed a two-step workflow using a new blood-based p-tau217 biomarker to improve the accuracy of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnosis. The first step uses a diagnostic model that combines plasma p-tau217 with age and the APOE e4 gene to identify high-risk patients.

Educational Buffer: How Learning Slows Genetic Alzheimer’s Risk

Researchers examined the role of genetics and educational attainment in early-onset Alzheimer's disease, specifically focusing on carriers of the PSEN1 E280A mutation. They found that carriers with an additional high-risk mutation, APOE e4, experienced faster cognitive decline, while those with a protective APOE e2 mutation had delayed onset.

Could A Gene Be A Hidden Shield Against Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s?

Researchers identified a gene allele, known as DR4, that offers more than a 10% average reduction in the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The study, involving hundreds of thousands of people from various ancestries, suggests a potential role of the tau protein in both conditions.

Rethinking Brain Cancer: Not Just Mass, but Hacked Neural Circuits

New research challenges the widely held belief that cognitive impairments from brain metastasis are solely due to the tumor's mass effect. The study reveal that metastasis alters the brain’s chemistry and disrupts neural communication.

Small Steps, Big Change: How Light Activity Could Guard Against Alzheimer’s

Researchers will explore how light physical activities like walking can affect cognition in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's or related dementias. Unlike previous studies that focused on the total amount of light activity, the research will examine day-to-day variations in light physical activity.

From Concussion to Alzheimer’s: Mini-Brain Unlocks Time-Sensitive Link

Researchers developed a "traumatic brain injury (TBI) on a chip" to explore the links between concussions and Alzheimer's disease. Using clusters of neurons from embryonic mice, they exposed the "miniature brain" to g-forces mimicking those experienced by football players.
