Researchers map links between size of hippocampus and progression to Alzheimer's dementia
UCLA researchers sought to test the theory that the hippocampus - the area of the brain that processes memory - is smaller in patients with mild cognitive impairment who develop into Alzheimer's dementia, and that it is larger in patients with mild cognitive impairment who experience cognitive stability or improvement. view more (2006-05-09)
Anticholinergic drugs linked to mental impairment in elderly people
Anticholinergic drugs may lead to mild cognitive (mental) impairment in elderly people, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-02-01)
Innovative 3D-imaging technique captures brain damage linked to Alzheimer's disease
Using an advanced three-dimensional mapping technique developed by UCLA researchers, the team analyzed magnetic resonance imaging data from 24 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 25 others with mild Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-12)
Post-mortem brain studies reveal features of mild cognitive impairment
The brains of patients with mild cognitive impairment display pathologic features that appear to place them at an intermediate stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, although some patients with mild cognitive impairment develop other types of dementia. view more (2006-05-09)
Cognitive problems associated with diabetes duration and severity
Individuals with mild cognitive impairment appear more likely to have earlier onset, longer duration and greater severity of diabetes, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-12)
Depression may increase Alzheimer's risk in people with memory problems
People with memory problems who are depressed are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who aren't depressed, according to a new UCLA study. view more (2009-06-16)
Diabetes may be associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment
Individuals with diabetes may have a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, a condition that involves difficulties with thinking and learning and may be an intermediate step toward Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-04-10)
Mayo Clinic study continues to refine most effective methods to predict Alzheimer's disease
A new Mayo Clinic study found that the clinical criteria for mild cognitive impairment is better at predicting who will develop Alzheimer's disease than a single memory test. view more (2009-07-14)
Heart failure linked to cognitive impairment
Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have problems with memory and other aspects of cognitive functioning, reports a new study published by Elsevier, in the February issue of Journal of Cardiac Failure. view more (2009-02-05)

Alzheimer's pathology can appear in the brains of older men and women without dementia or mild cognitive impairment. view more (2006-06-27)
The Lancet Neurology - January 2003
STROKE IN THE 21st CENTURY In the first issue of 2003, TLN examines stroke epidemiology and stroke trials. In their review, Valery Feigin and co-authors provide an overview of population-based studies of incidence, prevalence, mortality, and case-fatality of stroke based on studies reported between 1996 and 2002. From their analysis the authors... view more... (2002-12-18)
Automated analysis of MR images may identify early Alzheimer's disease
Analyzing MRI studies of the brain with software developed at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) may allow diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and of mild cognitive impairment, a lesser form of dementia that precedes the development of Alzheimer's by several years. view more (2009-05-22)
Research finds photos more useful than words
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that pictures allow patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) to better recognize and identify a subject as compared to using just words. view more (2009-05-01)
AIDS-related cognitive impairment exists in two separate forms
Cognitive impairment in people with AIDS exists in two forms - one mild, another severe - each affecting different areas of the brain. view more (2006-04-06)
Reduced muscle strength associated with risk for Alzheimer's
Individuals with weaker muscles appear to have a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease and declines in cognitive function over time, according to a report in the November issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2009-11-10)
Cognitive impairment link found in older adults taking popular stomach acid medications
Long-term use of histamine2 receptor antagonists (H2A), one class of drugs that blocks stomach acid, may be associated with cognitive impairment in older African-American adults. view more (2007-08-06)
MRIs show drug treatment slows brain deterioration on road to Alzheimer's disease
According to a new study, the drug donepezil measurably slows the rate of brain shrinkage in some patients with mild cognitive impairment, a pre-Alzheimer's disease condition. view more (2006-07-18)
Low level of neuronal receptor linked to mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
Results of a new study indicate a strong link between the loss of the neuronal receptor LR11and onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-09-05)
Regular moderate alcohol intake has cognitive benefits in older adults
A glass of wine here, a nightcap there - new research out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests that moderate alcohol intake offers long-term cognitive protection and reduces the risk of dementia in older adults. view more (2009-07-14)
Memory lane: Older persons with more schooling spend fewer years with cognitive loss
Those with at least a high school education spend more of their older years without cognitive loss - including the effects of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia -- but die sooner after the loss becomes apparent, reveals a new study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of Aging and Health. view more (2008-05-13)
