Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain's protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein, causing the blood-brain barrier to become leaky with age.
Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth has said he was initially hesitant to reveal his genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's disease, fearing it could affect how audiences and the industry perceive his career as an action star, according to Variety.
Alzheimer's has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brain's energy supply help drive the disease, and restoring that balance can reverse damage, even in advanced cases.
Israeli and Dutch researchers have unveiled a new technique that allows scientists to precisely measure toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's disease -- something that has long been out of reach and could open new paths for studying and eventually diagnosing dementia.
Hypertension may impair the brain far earlier than previously understood -- even before a measurable rise in blood pressure occurs -- according to a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The changes help explain why hypertension is a major risk factor for developing cognitive di
In a study published November 5 in Nature, the team found that microglia with lower levels of a transcription factor called PU.1 and higher expression of a receptor known as CD28 help reduce brain inflammation.
In his presentation, Dr Das explained how Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as GANs, Variational Autoencoders, Diffusion Models, GPT-based Models, and Flow-based Models are opening new possibilities in the field of neurology. He cited examples showing how these tec
An international team from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at the University of California, San Francisco, The Rockefeller University, and Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that these gateways use a flexible protein network and special mol
