A new framework reveals Alzheimer’s disease is far more complex than previously believed. Rather than being a disease where the same causes produce the same outcomes, researchers found three different models for the disease, each with its own character…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Decluttering May Not Help People With Dementia
Findings suggest people with moderate Alzheimer’s disease perform better at daily tasks when surrounded by their usual clutter.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Drug Designed for Alzheimer’s Disease May Hold Promise for Treating Glioblastoma
A class of drugs called BACE1 inhibitors, originally designed to treat Alzheimer’s disease, shows potential for the treatment of glioblastoma brain cancer.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Disrupted Circadian Regulation of Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease
Amyloid-beta accumulation in the brain may contribute to deficits in circadian regulation of learning and memory during the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Exploring Brain Events to Gain a New Perspective on Brain Injuries and Disorders
A new brain model explored bursts of human brain activity never before studied. The bursts may serve as potential biomarkers for depression, dementia, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Coffee and Tea Drinking May Be Associated With Reduced Rates of Stroke and Dementia
People who drink between 4 – 6 cups of coffee or tea per day have a lower risk of stroke and dementia, researchers report. Drinking coffee alone, or in combination with tea, was associated with lower risk of post-stroke dementia.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New Approach Provides Potential Vaccine and Treatment for Alzheimer’s
A newly developed antibody-based treatment and protein-based vaccine reduced Alzheimer’s symptoms in mouse models, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: A New Neural-Optic System Can Manipulate Memories
A new neuro-optics technique can manipulate memory consolidation in mouse models by hindering long-term potentiation. Researchers say eliminating local LTP in the hippocampus erased memories. The method could be used to isolate memory formation at the …
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Repurposing Cancer Drug to Treat Alzheimer’s in Those With Genetic Risk Factors
Dasatinib, an FDA-approved drug for chronic myeloid leukemia, and an experimental drug for liver cancer reduced neuroinflammation, tau phosphorylation, and amyloid secretion in cell cultures of post-mortem brain samples of those with the APOE4 Alzheime…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: An Anti-Inflammatory Diet May Be Your Best Bet for Cognitive Health
People who consume a diet containing anti-inflammatory foods, including fruits, vegetables, and coffee, are less likely to develop dementia as they age, a new study reports.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Listening to Favorite Music Improves Brain Plasticity and Cognitive Performance in Alzheimer’s Patients
Repeatedly listening to personally meaningful music induced brain plasticity and improved cognitive function for patients with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Restoring Normal Sleep Reduces Amyloid-Beta Accumulation in Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Restoring normal sleep patterns by activating the thalamic reticular nucleus with chemogenetics reduced the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brains.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Sleeping Longer Than 6.5 Hours a Night Associated With Cognitive Decline
Older adults who sleep less than 4.5 hours, or more than 6.5 hours per night and who experience sleep disruptions are at greater risk of cognitive decline, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: The Role of Gene Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease in Brain’s Immune Cells
Deleting ABI3, a gene associated with Alzheimer’s disease, significantly increased amyloid-beta accumulation in the brain and decreased the amount of microglia around amyloid-plaques, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Multiple Sclerosis Drug Improves Memory in Mice Modeling Alzheimer’s Disease
Glatiramer acetate, a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, improved memory in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Exposure to Estrogen Linked to Less Brain Shrinkage in Midlife Women
Longer and higher exposure to estrogen were associated with larger gray matter volume in middle-aged women.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Mini-Brain Models Used in Hunt for Alzheimer’s Treatment
Brain organoids can be used to study molecular mechanisms that drive brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders. The mini-brains allow for the testing of molecules that could become potential therapeutic treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Key Alzheimer’s Feature Eliminated in Animal Model
Inhibiting the NHE6 gene abolished the formation of amyloid-beta plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Cause of Alzheimer’s Progression in the Brain Identified
New findings contradict the existing thought that Alzheimer’s starts from a single point in the brain and causes a chain reaction that leads to cell death. Instead, a new study reports, Alzheimer’s disease reaches different brain regions early on. The …
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Robotic Pet Boosts Mood, Behavior and Cognition in Adults With Dementia
Researchers report improvement in mood, behaviors, and cognition in older adults with dementia, thanks to the aid of a robotic furry companion.
