Alzheimer’s disease is an epidemic. It attacks the brain’s nerve cells, causing memory loss, behavioral changes, confusion, and deterioration of language skills.
People as young as their 40s have stiffening of the arteries that is associated with subtle structural damage to the brain that is implicated in cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
Researchers have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist.
Neuroscientists retrieve missing memories in mice with early Alzheimer’s symptoms.
New research by scientists shows for the first time that PET scans can track the progressive stages of Alzheimer’s disease in cognitively normal adults, a key advance in the early diagnosis and staging of the neurodegenerative disorder.
The study of the disease is leading other researchers to change their assumptions.
Alzheimer's disease often runs in families, but the risk that runs through this family's bloodline is higher than researchers have encountered before.
Researchers have developed a new approach to broadly survey learning-related changes in synapse properties.
Research provides clues to keeping brain cells alive in those with Alzheimer’s.
