Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Alzheimers | University of Southern CaliforniaUsing technology similar to what is found in many eye doctors’ offices, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have detected evidence suggesting Alzheimer’s in older patients who had no symptoms of the disease.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Alzheimers | University Research | Washington University in St. LouisA study of 3,877 randomly selected patients found a significant link between three degenerative eye diseases – age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma – and Alzheimer’s disease.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Alzheimers | University Research | University of WashingtonStiff arteries could lead to “silent” brain damage and therefore dementia risk, a 15-year study led by researchers at Pitt Public Health found. And that risk factor could be preventable.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Alzheimers | University of PittsburghUSC scientists have created the most detailed atlas yet of the hippocampus, the brain’s memory bank. Using fluorescent tracers and 3D animation, the scientists show structures, nerve connections and functions in vivid detail.
