Researchers have found that cortical gray matter thinning is an early biomarker of dementia, detectable 5-10 years before symptoms. Their study, using MRI brain imaging…
Kauwe, Pareja-Navarro et al. identify a KIBRA-dependent mechanism to repair the plasticity at synapses that is dysregulated in neurons underlying the loss of memory in…
Recent research from McGill University suggests a link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people aged 50…
A study by the University of Exeter, involving over a thousand adults aged 40 and over, reveals that lifelong musical engagement, particularly playing instruments like…
New research indicates that statins may slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients. This observational study, which doesn’t confirm a causal relationship, suggests that statins could…
Dutch researchers have discovered five distinct biological variants of Alzheimer’s disease, necessitating personalized treatment approaches. Their research underscores the importance of developing variant-specific drugs to…
A comprehensive study reveals that personality traits like conscientiousness and extraversion may reduce dementia risk, while neuroticism increases it. These findings suggest that personality influences…
A new study reveals that personalized health and lifestyle interventions can delay or prevent memory loss in older adults at risk of Alzheimer’s. The study,…
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have identified TAF15 protein aggregates as a key factor in frontotemporal dementia, a discovery that could revolutionize…
Research from Washington University shows that smoking shrinks the brain and speeds up brain aging, a process that is irreversible even after quitting. The study,…
Researchers discovered a crucial protein, TAF15, in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases. This finding, offering new treatment avenues, was achieved using advanced neuropathologic and molecular techniques,…
Researchers discovered a unique case in a Colombian family where a woman with a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s remained cognitively healthy due to a rare…
Researchers funded by the NIH revealed that high blood pressure leads to increased interleukin-17 in the brain, activating immune cells and causing cognitive decline. This…
Researchers have discovered a new aspect of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia: ferroptosis-induced microglia cell death. This groundbreaking finding, highlighting the vulnerability of brain immune cells,…
A study reveals that a 1% annual reduction in deep sleep among those over 60 increases dementia risk by 27%, suggesting the importance of maintaining…
A significant study highlights that living near major roadways correlates with increased dementia risk due to air pollution, especially nitrogen dioxide and PM2.5. It suggests…
A new study of Alzheimer’s disease combines multiple biomarkers to uncover new genetic pathways and sex-specific differences, paving the way for improved early diagnosis and…
A Monash University-led study discovered a link between high levels of HDL-C (‘good cholesterol’) and increased dementia risk in older adults, particularly those over 75.…
New research reveals a significant underdiagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, particularly among older adults and disadvantaged groups. The…
