Mar. 20, 2024 A study of nearly 95,000 Washington state residents found that people living outside of urban areas as well as Native American and Hispanic people face longer travel distances to be seen by ...
Mar. 19, 2024 The middle-aged brain could provide a window into future cognitive health. A team reviewed evidence from human and animal studies suggesting that middle age -- commonly considered as the period ...
Mar. 15, 2024 Researchers show that non-invasive brain stimulation can change a specific brain mechanism that is directly related to human ...
Mar. 14, 2024 A healthier diet is associated with a reduced dementia risk and slower pace of aging, according to a new study. The findings show that a diet-dementia association was at least partially facilitated ...
Mar. 14, 2024 Researchers combined artificial intelligence and chemical biosensors to ferment the precursor of an Alzheimer's drug in ...
Mar. 13, 2024 U.S. veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who suffered mild traumatic brain injury from exposure to explosive blasts were found to have changes in cerebrospinal fluid proteins that are ...
Mar. 13, 2024 A largescale new study has found that some people whose genetics are linked to the common iron overload condition haemochromatosis have substantially greater levels of liver, musculoskeletal and ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Defects in the blood vessel network of the central nervous system have been linked to early symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...
Mar. 12, 2024 Gait impairments often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline. Researchers quantitatively compared straight walking and curved walking -- a more natural yet complex activity -- in ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Early stages of neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the accumulation of proteins in discrete populations of brain cells and degeneration of these cells. For most diseases, this selective ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Monitoring daily activity patterns using a wrist-worn device may detect early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A surge of a neural-specific protein in the brain is the earliest-yet biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, report researchers studying a mouse model of the disease. Furthermore, the increased ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A noninvasive treatment may help to counter 'chemo brain' impairment often seen in chemotherapy patients: Exposure to light and sound with a frequency of 40 hertz protected brain cells from ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A link between abnormal blood levels of amyloid -- a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease -- and subtle changes in brain microstructures on a type of MRI could lead to a new way to detect ...
Feb. 29, 2024 Magnetite, a particle found in air pollution, can induce signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, new research ...
Feb. 29, 2024 Language-processing difficulties are more of an indicator than memory loss of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a risk factor for dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, according to a new ...
Feb. 29, 2024 A study of rare gene mutations that cause hereditary Alzheimer's disease shows these mutations disrupt production of a small sticky protein called ...
Feb. 29, 2024 People at risk of Alzheimer's disease have impaired spatial navigation prior to problems with other cognitive functions, including memory, finds a new ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Stimulating a key brain rhythm with light and sound increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of Alzheimer's protein via the brain's glymphatic system, new study ...
