A recent multi-centre study, led by King’s College London and the University of Manchester, has established that synapse loss in Alzheimer’s disease is driven by a specific signalling pathway. This pathway is […]
Researchers have developed a new method to gain insight into the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The team of Professor Bart De Strooper (VIB-KU Leuven, Dementia Research Institute in the UK) transplanted human brain […]
Deep brain stimulation or DBS has been shown to be effective in treating memory loss, at least this appears to be the case in rats. The animals tested were shown to have […]
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have shed light on a fundamental mechanism underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease, which could lead to new forms of therapy for those living with the condition. […]
by University of California – San Diego The amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) posits that sticky aggregations or plaques of amyloid-beta peptides accumulate over time in the brain, triggering a […]
by David Salisbury | Vanderbilt University Every time you make a memory, somewhere in your brain a tiny filament reaches out from one neuron and forms an electrochemical connection to a neighboring […]
