Sleep strengthens your memory
Sleep not only protects memories from outside interferences, but also helps strengthen them, according to research that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 59th Annual Meeting in Boston, April 28 - May 5, 2007. view more (2007-04-25)
Alzheimer's pathology related to episodic memory in those without dementia
Alzheimer's pathology can appear in the brains of older men and women without dementia or mild cognitive impairment. view more (2006-06-27)
Psychologists find more sensitive tests for predicting Alzheimer's as well as changes in cognition
Two recent studies may help clinicians and researchers better predict and understand dementia of the Alzheimer's type early in its history. Both studies appear in the September issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association (APA). view more (2005-09-26)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
New Guidelines Improve Diagnosis and Quality of Life for People with Parkinson Disease
New guidelines developed by the American Academy of Neurology aim to educate physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson disease and provide people with Parkinson disease an improved quality of life. view more (2006-04-03)
Brain Abnormality Found In Alzheimer's Disease Related to Gait Impairment in Older Persons
A new study from Rush University MedicalCenter helps explain why gait problems are often progressive in old age and related to risk of dementia and death. view more (2006-01-26)
Scientists show how thinking can harm brain cells
Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have targeted a new culprit and method of attack on neurologic functions in diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia associated with HIV. view more (2005-11-04)
Two pathways found that lead to Alzheimer's disease
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a transitional stage between normal cognition and Alzheimer's disease, exists in two different forms. view more (2006-01-10)
Researchers get closer to preventing Alzheimer's disease
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine identifies a faulty molecule in the brain found in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2006-07-06)
MUHC and McGill scientists identify gene for debilitating vitamin B12 disease
Scientists at the MUHC and McGill University have identified a gene responsible for a disease that impairs the body's ability to handle vitamin B12 and that may contribute to heart disease, stroke and dementia. view more (2005-12-01)
Non-invasive MRI technique distinguishes between Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia
A non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called arterial spin labeling is just as accurate as invasive scanning techniques in distinguishing Alzheimer's disease from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in the brains of elderly people, according to a new study at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). view more (2005-06-20)
PET's Molecular Imaging Power May Be Best Indicator for Determining Which Patients Develop Alzheimer's
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging-with the radiotracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-is a promising tool in detecting Alzheimer's disease in patients who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2005-10-06)
Gene variations linked to brain aneurysms
Variations in a gene seem to be linked to brain (cerebral) aneurysms, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2006-04-27)
Molecule links Down syndrome to Alzheimer's
Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have identified a molecule that could be targeted to treat the cognitive impairment in people with Down syndrome. view more (2005-12-06)
Blood flow to brain may be clue to certain dementias
The amount of blood flowing into the brain may play a larger role in the development of dementia than previously believed, according to a study in the September issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2005-08-30)
MIT research offers new hope for Alzheimer's patients
MIT brain researchers have developed a "cocktail" of dietary supplements, now in human clinical trials, that holds promise for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-04-28)
A new analysis of a standard brain test may help predict dementia
Although Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people worldwide, there is no way to identify this devastating brain disease at its earliest stages when there still may be time to delay or even prevent the downward spiral into dementia. view more (2005-10-06)
Higher folate levels linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease
Individuals who take in higher levels of the nutrient folate through both diet and supplements may have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-01-09)
Study shows cats can succumb to feline Alzheimer's disease
Ageing cats can develop a feline form of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reveals. Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews, Bristol and California have identified a key protein which can build up in the nerve cells of a cat's brain and cause mental deterioration. view more (2006-12-06)
Alzheimer's disease onset tied to lapses in attention, study suggests
People in early stages of Alzheimer's disease have greater difficulty shifting attention back and forth between competing sources of information, a finding that offers new support for theories that contend breakdowns in attention play an important role in the onset of the disease. view more (2005-11-10)
