Bigger brain size matters for intellectual ability
Brain size matters for intellectual ability and bigger is better, McMaster University researchers have found. view more (2005-12-23)
New target for Alzheimer's disease identified
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable disease that is increasing in prevalence and will increase even more rapidly as the Baby Boom generation enters the age of highest risk. The available AD drugs are only partially effective in some patients. New strategies are urgently needed. view more (2008-05-07)
Statin treatment may curb Alzheimer's brain changes
People who take statin drugs may be less likely to develop the brain changes that signal Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the August 28, 2007, issue of Neurology(r), the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2007-08-28)
Discovery will assist treatment and research into fatal brain disorder
Research using newly developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology could soon allow clinicians to confirm Huntington's disease before symptoms appear in people who have the gene for the fatal brain disease. view more (2008-06-17)
Antibody key to treating variant CJD, scientists find
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have determined the atomic structure of the 'binding' between a brain protein and an antibody that could be key to treating patients with diseases such as variant CJD. view more (2009-03-04)
Researchers find cause of frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is the second major form of dementia. view more (2006-07-17)
Alzheimer's vaccine clears plaque but has little effect on learning and memory impairment
A promising vaccine being tested for Alzheimer's disease does what it is designed to do - clear beta-amyloid plaques from the brain - but it does not seem to help restore lost learning and memory abilities, according to a University of California, Irvine study. view more (2008-04-07)
Alzheimer's study first to explain death of brain cells
Researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland (CHRCO) have published a new study that is the first to explain how brain cells die in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. view more (2006-03-15)
Ground-breaking new insight into the development of Alzheimer's disease
According to estimates there are 85,000 Alzheimer patients in our country and approximately 20,000 new cases every year. This spectacular increase is due to the increasing ageing population. Unfortunately it is still unclear precisely which ageing process forms the basis of this spectacular rise in the occurrence of the disease. view more (2008-04-23)
Edinburgh researchers to probe memory loss in people with diabetics
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are aiming to pinpoint why diabetes can cause memory loss and mental decline. A thousand people will take part in the study, the largest of its kind ever undertaken in the UK. view more (2006-06-27)
A Window into the Brain
When we absorb new information, the human brain reshapes itself to store this newfound knowledge. But where exactly is the new knowledge kept, and how does that capacity to adapt reflect our risk for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of senile dementia later in our lives? view more (2009-08-13)
New research suggests heart bypass surgery increases risk of Alzheimer's disease
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have discovered that patients who have either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or coronary angioplasty are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-26)
New prion protein discovered by Canadian scientists may offer insight into mad cow disease
Scientists have discovered a new protein that may offer fresh insights into brain function in mad cow disease. "Our team has defined a second prion protein called 'Shadoo', that exists in addition to the well-known prion protein called 'PrP' " said Professor David Westaway, director of the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases... view more...

Brain Research To Help In Fight Against Cardiovascular Disease
Scientists at the University of Liverpool, supported by the British Heart Foundation, are studying blood flow in the brain to further medical understanding of cardiovascular disease. view more (2005-03-21)
Family history of brain tumors linked to increased risk of brain cancer
People with a family history of cancerous brain tumors appear to be at higher risk of developing the same kind of tumors compared to people with no such family history. view more (2008-09-22)
Disease activity increases after MS patients stop drug
People with multiple sclerosis who stop taking the drug natalizumab may experience a rebound increase in disease activity. view more (2007-09-13)
Penn researchers discover the powerful tool of simultaneous fMRI and PET imaging
Clinical researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) are the first to combine fMRI and PET scanning in radiology, creating a way to compare different measurements of the brain's function concurrently. This analysis could lead to better diagnosis and treatment in patients suffering from brain disorders, like Alzheimer's... view more... (2005-10-13)
APP -- Good, bad or both?
New data about amyloid precursor protein, or APP, a protein implicated in development of Alzheimer's disease, suggests it also may have a positive role -- directly affecting learning and memory during brain development. view more (2009-10-19)
New Brain Test to Monitor Alzheimer's Disease
A new test that taps brain records so accurately it caught out a serial killer, could soon be used by pharmaceutical companies to speed up approval of drugs for Alzheimer's and other brain diseases, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry Magazine. 'Brain Fingerprinting' is the patented technology that can measure objectively, for the... view more... (2004-03-15)
U of MN researchers link early brain development to adult-onset neurodegenerative disease
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Human Genetics have shown for the first time that the severity of an adult neurodegenerative disease is tied to how well the brain developed shortly after birth. view more (2006-11-17)
