A newly developed two-minute EEG test effectively picks up on early memory impairments associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: The Quality, Not Quantity, of Cardiovascular Fat Can Interfere With Memory Later in Life
Greater radiodensity of perivascular adipose tissue in women during midlife was associated with decreased working memory performance later in life.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Drug Targets for Memory Enhancement
Researchers identified specific receptors for acetylcholine that reroute information flow through memory circuits in the hippocampus. The findings could have implications for the development of drugs to help enhance or protect memory from diseases asso…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New Gene Therapy Pathway Could Protect Us From Cancer and Dementia
A newly identified gene therapy pathway has the potential to protect us against dementia and cancer, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Can Cocoa Consumption Help Us Age Better?
Cocoa consumption could reduce inflammation and epigenetic aging, ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other diseases associated with aging.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Stem Cells Model Genetic Risk for Developing Alzheimer’s Disease
Stem cell study reveals astrocytes carrying the Alzheimer’s associated APOE4 gene release more cholesterol than those carrying the APOE3 gene. Findings shed light on how different versions of the APOE gene in astrocytes influence amyloid-beta productio…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Cholesterol Drives Alzheimer’s Plaque Formation
Cholesterol produced by astrocytes in the brain is required for the production of amyloid-beta. The findings shed light on how and why amyloid-beta forms, and may explain why genes associated with cholesterol have been implicated as risk factors for Al…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Protein From the Liver May Cause Alzheimer’s Disease in the Brain
Amyloid-beta proteins created in the liver are carried in the blood by lipoproteins to the brain. This results in neurodegeneration, brain atrophy, and inflammation, which are common features of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Docking Peptides, Slow to Lock, Open Possible Path to Treat Alzheimer’s
Drugs that stabilize amyloid fibril “frustration” block further aggregation and could provide a new method to prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Researchers Shed New Light on Molecular Mechanisms in Brain Diseases
Study reveals the molecular mechanisms implicated in the regulation of toxic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Signs of Dementia Are Written in the Blood
Researchers identified 33 metabolic compounds in blood samples that differed between those with dementia and cognitively healthy older adults. 7 of the metabolites were elevated in dementia patients, while 26 were at lower levels compared to samples of…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Reversal of the Biological Hallmarks Responsible for Development of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Using Unique Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Protocol
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved cerebral blood flow by up to 23%, alleviating vascular dysfunction and amyloid burden in elderly patients. The treatment also improved memory by 16.5%.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Link Between ADHD and Dementia Across Generations
People with ADHD had a 34% higher risk of developing dementia than those without the disorder. The risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the most common type of dementia, was 55% higher for those with ADHD.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Exposure to Traffic Noise Linked to Higher Dementia Risk
Exposure to high levels of road and rail traffic noise over long periods of time is associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Aging: It’s More Complicated Than We Thought
A new study on aging reveals a surprising discovery about the connection between protein shape and mitochondrial health.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Omega 3 Intake Linked to Stable Memory Function in Alzheimer’s Patients
Small scale study reveals Omega 3 supplements stabilized memory function in adults with Alzheimer’s disease. Those who did not take omega-3 supplements showed a deterioration in memory function.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: AI Can Predict Possible Alzheimer’s With Nearly 100 Percent Accuracy
A new AI algorithm can predict the onset of Alzheimer’s disease with an accuracy of over 99% by analyzing fMRI brain scans.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: The Memory Changes of Menopause
Researchers have identified four cognitive profiles associated with menopause. Findings reveal women who experience stronger verbal learning and memory, in addition to better attention and executive function during menopause, are less likely to experie…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New Brain Model Provides Patient-Specific Alzheimer’s Insights and Predictions of Cognitive Decline
A newly developed brain model from cultivated stem cells allowed researchers to analyze molecular pathways of neurons in a dish. Researchers identified specific forms of amyloid beta and tau associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. They also …
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Postponed Retirement Slows Cognitive Decline
Working until the age of 67 slows cognitive decline and appears to be neuroprotective against cognitive impairments and dementias.
