A long-term study explores the effects of drinking coffee on Alzheimer’s disease risk. Dimitrije Tanaskovic/Stocksy There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, although treatment and lifestyle changes can slow its progression. A new Australian study suggests that higher coffee intake might be linked to a slower rate of […]
Tag: Alzheimer’s disease
A debilitating form of dementia, this progressive and irreversible neurode- generative disease results in the development of protein plaques and tangles that damages neurons and interfere with neural signaling, ultimately affecting memory and other important cognitive skills.
Physical activity may improve Alzheimer’s disease outcomes by lowering brain inflammation

Models examine the mediating effect of inferior temporal microglial activation (PAM IT) on the relationship between physical activity and global cognitive outcomes or synaptic integrity markers in the inferior temporal gyrus. view more Credit: Casaletto et al., JNeurosci 2021 No one will […]
Multiple sclerosis drug improves memory in mice modeling Alzheimer’s disease
Losing memory is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, a symptom of the disease that depletes a patient’s quality of life. Improving memory and slowing cognitive changes caused by the disease is an ongoing challenge for researchers seeking to develop novel therapies. In a newly published paper in Frontiers in Neuroscience […]

Restoring normal sleep reduces amyloid-beta accumulation in mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Multiple studies in humans and mouse models indicate that sleep disruptions raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by increasing the accumulation of disease-relevant proteins such as amyloid-beta (A-beta) in the brain. In the current study, a team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine discovered that, in […]
UT Southwestern study suggests potential way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease
A study by UT Southwestern researchers finds that changing the biochemistry of parts of brain cells abolished the formation of amyloid beta plaques in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. The finding, published in eLife , might eventually lead to treatments that prevent the memory-robbing condition in humans. We […]
Natural compound in basil may protect against Alzheimer’s disease pathology

Plant-derived compound can be beneficial in protecting the brain against Alzheimer’s disease pathology
Fenchol, a natural compound abundant in some plants including basil, can help protect the brain against Alzheimer’s disease pathology, a preclinical study led by University of South Florida Health (USF Health) researchers suggests. The new study published Oct. 5 in the Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience ( @FrontiersIn), discovered a […]
Link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease bolstered

A team of UNLV neuroscientists has strengthened the link between Type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. In a study published in the September issue of the journal Communications Biology , researchers show that chronic hyperglycemia impairs working memory performance and alters fundamental aspects of working memory networks. “Diabetes is […]
Sensitivity to painful external stimuli preserved in all phases of Alzheimer’s disease in mice
A UAB study in Alzheimer’s disease in mice demonstrates that pain caused by a harmful external stimulus is preserved in all phases of the disease, even in the most advanced phases, and that there are differences in sensory and emotional reactions in males and females. The results validate the […]
