Wellesley team’s new research on anesthesia unlocks important clues about the nature of consciousness
Participating in a series of cognitive training sessions has helped Quebec seniors cope with memory loss - even five years later, an UdeM study finds.
Outdoor light at night could be a significant risk factor in Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from Rush.
Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated “molecular markers” – observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks – that are shared by several forms of dementia that affect different regions of the brain.
Violent blows or jolts to the head can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), and there are currently about five million people in the U.S. living with chronic neurodegeneration and related impairments due to TBI.
This $11 million IHS contract will create training for healthcare providers and support patients’ families in communities that have little access to such specialized care.
The 14th annual Markesbery Symposium on Aging and Dementia is set for Sept. 27-28. The symposium, hosted by UK’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, is named in honor and memory of the late William R. Markesbery, M.D., the founding director of Sanders-Brown.
Three recently published studies from Cedars-Sinai investigators have deepened knowledge of how changes in the eye are linked to indicators of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain.
Andy Groves, PhD, a leading researcher in the development of the inner ear, will head the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis beginning in April.
A collaborative investigation among WashU Medicine experts in Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS) finds evidence that MS patients are less likely to have amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, than adults without MS.
UChicago researchers found that people who develop sensory disabilities with age tend to have worse mental health, and that different types of sensory disability are associated with different aspects of mental health.
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have discovered the neurons responsible for “item memory,” deepening our understanding of how the brain stores and retrieves the details of “what” happened and offering a new target for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers from UC San Diego are working on a new treatment for Alzheimer's that targets tau - a type of protein in the brain that helps cells retain their stability and structure.
With new medications on the market or in the works for Alzheimer’s disease and other kinds of dementia, a new study suggests that getting the diagnosis needed to access these new treatments may depend on where you live.
Researchers from Michigan State University and Corewell Health used de-identified electronic health records of more than 1.5 million patients to analyze incidence rates and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, in rural and urban areas in West Michigan. They are the first researchers in the state to use this technique.
A study offering insights into understanding and managing the behavioral and psychological symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias led by a team of UTHealth Houston researchers has been published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, the journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.
The coordinated activity of brain cells, like birds flying in formation, helps us behave intelligently in new situations, according to a study led by Cedars-Sinai investigators.
