A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

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

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 ...

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

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...
