Detecting toxic forms of tau before they weave into dense thickets of tangles could pave the way for earlier diagnosis and ...

In addition to the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in brain, the pathological ... the cells were co-transfected with a green fluorescent protein control vector to monitor ...

The presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These irregular clumps of protein are closely associated with disease progression.

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

Researchers say CSF biomarker test correlates with the severity of cognitive decline, independent of other factors, including brain amyloid deposition.

Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...

A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney. A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood ...

Brain samples contained 10 times more microplastics than other organs. The brain may contain higher -- and more significant -- amounts of microplastics than other organs in the body, according to ...

The average brain may contain a spoonful of plastic, a new study suggests. The number of tiny bits of plastic found in human brains increased dramatically between 2016 and 2024, with the highest ...

Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. And his goal of achieving "symbiosis" with artificial intelligence starts with a brain chip. Neuralink, a company Musk co-founded, is testing linking ...
