Brain therapies for Alzheimer’s – rTMS and DBS – can slow down the disease. Find out how they work.

Scientists have identified a new mechanism that accelerates aging in the brain and gives rise to the most devastating biological features of Alzheimer's disease. The findings also unify three long ...

Scientists have long thought that Alzheimer's disease originates in the brain, but new research suggests that a key protein that triggers the disease could be carried to the brain from elsewhere ...

Participants also underwent detailed MRI brain scans, enabling researchers to measure subtle changes in brain volume over time, particularly in regions known to be vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease.

There’s probably a fungus living in your brain right now. And it could be contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, according to new medical research.

Dec. 3, 2024 – Having belly fat during your 40s and 50s may be a sign that the brain is already becoming sick and shrinking, increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease later in life.

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's may be linked to defective brain cells disposing toxic proteins that make neighboring cells sick, say researchers. These findings could ...
