MEDICINE & HEALTHIn a recent study, scientists are finding a connection between Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Alzheimer's disease. Using brain models, they noticed a growth of cells that resembles amyloid plaques, evident in patients with Alzheimer's, when triggered with HSV-1. Click the link above to learn more.
The measure of how fast a person’s pupils dilate during a cognitive test may be a low cost method to check for a genetic risk of developing the Alzheimer’s Disease.
The 6KApoEp, also known as peptide antagonist, was shown to reduce Alzheimer’s-associated beta-amyloid (β-amyloid) accumulation and tau pathologies in the brain, as well as improving learning and memory in mice genetically engineered to mimic symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease
A new two-step diagnosis process may help detect Alzheimer’s disease. A new two-step diagnostic process is maintaining to firmly detect Alzheimer's disease nearly 10 years before clinical symptoms appear.
A two-tier method allows the early detection of Alzheimer's disease Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) scientists have developed a two-tier method in detecting the early stage of Alzheimer.
Excessive daytime sleepiness linked with brain protein involved in disease. Analysis of data captured during a long-term study of aging adults shows those who reported being very sleepy during the day, were three times more likely to have brain deposits of beta-amyloid; a protein that's a hallmark for Alzheimer's disease, years later.
Millions of people, mostly the elderly, have been diagnosed with a form of dementia An expert called the discovery as the most important dementia finding in years.
A new virtual reality video game developed to detect Alzheimer’s is working. When most people think of Alzheimer's disease they think of an illness that impairs a person's memory.
The early detection of the cause of Alzheimer's disease, the amyloid plaque build up, is the right time for medical intervention to thwart more diseases setting in like heart attack and diabetes 2.
Studies discovered the benefits and downsides of having a sleep-deprived brain. Many people experience a lack of sleep. But amid some people warning them that lack of sleep brings harmful effects to the brain, a research team from Italy discovered that being sleep-deprived may have a benefit to the brain as well.
A study reveals that Omega-3 food protects areas of the brain responsible for memory and cognition. Omega-3 enriched foods were discovered by researchers to possibly aid in preventing the population rate of those people exposed in Alzheimer's disease risks.
Scientists have identified the cause of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Parkinson’s disease. The discovery is an advancement in the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
