Types of dementia like Alzheimer's disease have long been linked to a buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. These are both proteins that have been compared to the "trigger and ...
Researchers have developed a new way to turn ordinary antibodies into tiny disease-fighting molecules that can work inside human cells, potentially opening new paths for treating Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s…
Leisure-time exercise like walking, cycling, running, swimming or playing sports is associated with a much lower risk of dementia, researchers report in the September issue of The Lancet Public Health ...
Cancer neuroscience reveals a bidirectional relationship in which neural circuits, neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, and immune signaling can shape tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.
Brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) is a robust, reproducible predictor of dementia progression across two independent estimation methods, and it is most clinically useful in subjective ...
In the MRI scans, the gap between eyes-open and eyes-closed activity shrank by 85% in the visual network, and by more than 66% across all brain networks. In the EEG recordings, the difference in a ...
Research using human brain organoids onboard the International Space Station helped lead to a clinical trial of a potential therapy for Rett syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder in children.
Scientists discovered physically strenuous labor may not offer the same brain protection as exercising for leisure.
A research team in Basel is one step closer to unraveling the mystery of fatigue: It has identified the brain cells in mice that actively trigger and control the urge to sleep.
The active ingredient in “magic mushrooms” doesn’t just mess with the brain. Psilocybin, as it’s called, focuses brain activity more intently on what is happening in the moment, as a new study ...
Memory clinics still rely on visual rating scales to assess brain atrophy, yet these tools lack the sensitivity to catch subtle changes associated with early dementia. A measure of how old a person's ...
The research, published in the journal NeuroImage, found that watching preferred short videos may temporarily suppress activity in parts of the brain involved in cognitive control.
Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) drew attention after new neuroscience deals and metabolic momentum reshaped how the healthcare market read its pipeline and operations.
Scientists’ ability to recapitulate the human brain in a dish has always been hindered by the inability to model the full capacity of the brain and its development through time. | Scientists’ ability ...
Up to 60% of women may experience cognitive problems during the menopause transition. So when does ordinary brain fog cross the line into something more concerning?

Women make up a disproportionate share of people living with dementia. Longer life expectancy is one reason, but genetics, menopause, vascular health and unequal access to education and healthcare may ...
Breathing polluted air may affect more than the lungs and heart. A new study suggests that common outdoor air pollutants are also linked to changes in parts of the brain that are especially vulnerable ...
A brain disease closely linked to dementia may begin much earlier than many people realize. Researchers in Finland found signs of Lewy body disease in some people over age 50 who had never been ...
Regular exercise has long been linked to decreased dementia risk. A 2022 paper found that just 3,800 steps a day may reduce your likelihood of developing dementia by 25%, with increasing benefits up ...
Physical activity for leisure, such as walking, cycling and swimming is linked to a lower dementia risk, while the opposite applies to physical exertion as part of one's job, new research shows.
Scientists have demonstrated direct brain-to-brain communication using a system that transmitted information between people without speech, typing or physical gestures. The research led to ‘BrainNet,’ ...
On Aug. 22, the Hollister Edward Jones Team, together with Twin Oaks Hollister, is hosting the Third Annual Alzheimer’s Association Walk, one of 600 such events across the country, to raise funds and ...
Leisure-time exercise was associated with lower dementia risk in a large systematic review and meta-analysis. In contrast, occupational physical activity was associated with a higher risk of dementia.
Physical activity performed as part of a job raises the risk of dementia, new research suggests. Strenuous labour may not offer the same brain protection as exercising for leisure and may even raise ...
Traveling electrical waves sweeping across the brain may help determine what we notice, predict what comes next, and construct our internal picture of the world. Researchers now argue that these waves aren't just…
During cancer treatment, the same brain tumor can be treated with the same anticancer drug, but the effect can differ from patient to patient. A Korean research team has developed a chip that recreates a patient's own…
If done correctly, this one exercise move "can use almost every muscle in your body," the neurophysiologist said.
J&J's immunology and neuroscience businesses are emerging as key growth engines, with new drugs helping to offset Stelara's loss of exclusivity.
High blood pressure, diabetes and smoking are three major modifiable risk factors of dementia. New research tracked more than 12,000 participants to quantify how many years of healthy cognitive functi ...
