The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

Scientists have long observed that cancer patients have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. New research reveals a possible ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, ...

A hidden protein buildup in brain blood vessels may quietly quadruple dementia risk—often without a stroke as warning.

A measure of brain complexity, derived from magnetic stimulation and EEG, can effectively evaluate conscious processing in ...

Disrupted hippocampal replay in an Alzheimer’s mouse model reveals how memory consolidation breaks down, offering clues for early diagnosis.

As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

High levels of calcium are toxic to cells and contribute to loss of neurons in Alzheimer’s disease. A new JCI Insight study identifies a mechanism through which the young brain protects itself against ...
