Deep sleep could be key to forestalling slow declines in brain health that may one day lead to Alzheimer's disease, the most ...

Alzheimer’s disease — which affects an estimated 7 million Americans — is notoriously difficult to detect, especially in its ...

New research has revitalized interest in the longstanding link between brain trauma and dementia by focusing on the vascular ...

With early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease comes the possibility of treatment to not only help manage symptoms but also slow ...

In diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, specific proteins misfold and clump together, forming toxic aggregates that ...

Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques like many other Alzheimer's tests, this one hunts for tiny clumps of tau protein, which are more often associated with cognitive decline. The ...

Now, it appears they have. The tests have been centered on the ability to test for either beta amyloid or tau, the characteristic proteins that are deposited in the brain in Alzheimer’s disease, and ...

Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

Using a new animal model of Alzheimer’s disease, the study highlights a potential breakthrough in treatment strategies. Unlike current therapies that primarily target a single toxic protein linked to ...
