A new study finds that 40Hz light and sound therapy helps maintain myelin, a crucial brain structure, in Alzheimer's patients. This therapy, which protects neurons and supports brain function, could offer new treatment avenues for neurodegenerative diseases.
How well do visual reads and quantitative assessments of tau positron emission tomography (PET) predict clinical progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia compared to amyloid-β (Aβ) PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?
People with type 2 diabetes face a heightened risk of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. A study by Umeå University in Sweden suggests this may be due to their reduced ability to eliminate beta-amyloids—proteins linked to Alzheimer's—from the brain.
Exercising our brains with daily habits like naps and memory workouts, instead of relying on smartphones, can reduce the risk of age-related dementia.
A recent review in Nutrients reveals how residential greenness may play a vital role in preventing cognitive decline and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
A recent review in Nutrients highlights saffron's potential in preventing and treating various diseases. Saffron, derived from Crocus sativus L., is known for its health benefits, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Certain medications used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may reduce the risk of developing dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the second most common neurodegenerative dementia after Alzheimer's.
New Study Links Anxiety to Higher Parkinson's Disease Risk in Older Adults
A new study uncovers the different patterns and reasons behind procrastination using a mathematical framework. It shows that procrastination is influenced by factors like immediate rewards and uncertainty about future outcomes.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have developed a new method for predicting dementia with over 80% accuracy, up to nine years before diagnosis. This method surpasses traditional memory tests and brain shrinkage measurements. Led by Professor Charles Marshall, the team used functional MRI (fMRI) scans to analyze changes in the brain's...
