Alzheimer’s cases are expected to nearly double by 2050, ... Further, areas of the brain related to Alzheimer’s disease — the hippocampus and precuneus — were protected from atrophy.

Our sense of self is shaped by a small brain region called the precuneus. Now, research suggests that targeting that area may preserve brain function in early-stage Alzheimer's.

This monocentric, sham-controlled, randomised, double-blind pilot trial conducted in Italy included 48 patients (mean age, 72.8 years; 56% women) with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, of whom ...

Meeting Coverage > CTAD Video Pearls Targeted Magnetic Stimulation Slows Alzheimer's Progression in Phase II Study — Neuro-navigated repetitive TMS in the precuneus slowed progression in mild-to ...

Personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the hippocampal network improved cognitive and functional performance in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD ...

GETTING your body moving is a key way to keep dementia at bay. But lowering your risk of the brain-robbing disease might not take as much exercise as you’d think, new research reveals. Weight… ...

After six months of twice-weekly weight training, the participants showed protection against atrophy in the hippocampus and precuneus—brain areas associated with Alzheimer's disease—as well as ...

The precuneus stitches together key parts of our identity and consciousness, with new research suggesting its dysregulation may be one of the earliest targets in Alzheimer's disease.
