Increasingly, scientists have looked to the eye for clues to Alzheimer’s. Past studies have taken all angles, from identifying links between beta-amyloid clumps in…
A noninvasive dementia sleep test may help with predicting and diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases in older adults. Sleep has been an increasing focus of study…
The occasional minor cognitive error is a perfectly normal occurrence, but some people live with persistent, subjective cognitive difficulties that have no underlying structural,…
The world is facing increasing numbers of people with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, some treatments can help…
Alzheimer’s disease affects one in 10 people over the age of 65, but testing for a definitive diagnosis is difficult. As of now, no…
Blood tests for Alzheimer’s have been in development for some time, some of which have even been shown to have a 100 percent accuracy…
Scanning technology is the most definitive way of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. One of the most accurate is called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan,…
As we age, so do our abilities to see and hear… Now, new research indicates that out of all of our senses, our sense…
The longstanding “amyloid hypothesis” suggests that Alzheimer’s hallmark beta-amyloid plaques and smaller clumps of beta-amyloid oligomers — proteins highly toxic to brain cells — can…
Years of study into the Alzheimer’s biomarker named beta-amyloid have yielded few notable results for an earlier diagnosis and drug treatment. As one alternative,…
A new study published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) links certain enzymes with degenerative brain diseases, which could mean scientists and drugmakers now…
In studies, blood tests to detect Alzheimer’s are showing promise: over the course of years of testing, they are proving to be accurate means…
We might see increasing forgetfulness in older age as a red flag of mild cognitive decline or dementia. But it turns out that some…
Scientists are confident that artificial intelligence can help us improve Alzheimer’s prediction and diagnosis — the question is exactly how. Around the world, researchers…
In the late 1890s, a railroad worker in Frankfurt Germany noticed that his wife, Auguste Deter, was behaving oddly. Gradually her anxiety and mood…
