Alzheimer’s disease

Dutch scientists have discovered five biological variants of Alzheimer’s disease, which may require different treatment.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder. β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in the brain is a crucial contributor to the pathogenesis of AD.

People who are hard of hearing spend more energy listening. That energy comes at the expense of other cognitive functions.

A common stomach bacteria found in two-thirds of the world population may be linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, new research suggests.

The severity of amyloid deposition in the brain (not just age) may be key to determining who will benefit from new anti-amyloid therapies to delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

A review explores the potential of non-invasive interventions such as light, sound, and magnets to stimulate gamma brain waves for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers have discovered how harmful tau proteins damage the essential operating instructions for our brain cells, a finding that could lead to new treatments.

Many people know or love someone who suffers from a common disease for which there is no cure.

Alzheimer’s disease has plagued one large Colombian family for generations, striking down half of its members in the prime of life.

With mental health conditions like depression on the rise, alternative treatments are gaining more interest as safe, low-cost therapeutic options.

Most neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias, involve proteins aggregating into filaments called amyloids.

Twice daily non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain may boost mental processes (cognitive function) in people with Alzheimer’s disease.

A recent study has revealed a significant connection between multimorbidity and an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, among older adults.

A study has found that personalised health and lifestyle changes can delay or even prevent memory loss for higher-risk older adults.

A study revealed how genetic changes in certain types of brain cells may contribute to the inflammatory response seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
