Pathway of Alzheimer’s degeneration discovered: Finding is key for future treatment and earlier diagnosis
Larger sample sizes needed to increase reproducibility in neuroscience studies
Small sample sizes in studies using functional MRI to investigate brain connectivity and function are common in neuroscience, despite years
Mystery deepens over the cause of Alzheimer’s: Biologist studies ‘traffic jams’ in brain cells with the hope of unraveling the origins of disease
For more than 20 years, much of the leading research on Alzheimer’s disease has been guided by the “amyloid hypothesis.”
Neurons ripple while brains rest to lock in memories: How quiet minds encode spatial maps while ‘introspecting’
Memories resonate in the mind even when it’s not aware of processing them. New research from Rice University and Michigan
People with dementia more likely to go missing
The tendency of people with dementia to wander and become lost has led QUT researchers to recommend a ‘Silver Alert’
Loud music and depression may trigger dementia by ageing the brain
Loud music and depression could both trigger dementia by ageing the brain prematurely, studies find Hearing loss makes people’s brains
World first use of cognitive training reduces gait freezing in Parkinson’s patients
The researchers report significant reduction in the severity and duration of freezing of gait, improved cognitive processing speed and reduced
Subtle hearing loss while young changes brain function: Early damage could open door to dementia, lead author says
Cranking up your headphones or scrambling for a front-row spot at rock shows could be damaging more than your hearing.
Vascular risk interacts with amyloid levels to increase age-related cognitive decline
Risk factors for heart disease and stroke appear to hasten the risk of cognitive decline in normal older individuals with
Untangling brain neuron dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies
A decay of brain function is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB. Specifically, cognitive
