How our diet can impact memory

New York: Although you might be familiar with the statement, “you are what you eat”, the food you consume could also impact your memory, suggests a new study. A team of researchers discovered that cholecystokinin (CCK), a satiety hormone which is highly expressed in memory formation, could, at higher levels, decrease a person’s likelihood of developing […]

Poor sleep may predict Alzheimer's risk in elderly

New York: Poor sleep quality may signal the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in older adults, a study suggests. People with Alzheimer’s tend to wake up tired and their nights become even less refreshing as memory loss and other symptoms worsen. However, the reason was not fully understood. The study, led by the Washington University in […]

Novel method to deliver drugs to the brain

New York: Researchers have discovered a potentially new approach to deliver therapeutics more effectively to the brain. The findings, done on mice, showed that the research could have implications for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and brain cancer. “Improving the delivery of drugs to the central nervous system is […]

Fluid drainage system in brain linked to Alzheimer: Study

New York: Scientists have identified a fluid drainage system in the brain that sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of brain ageing and age-related Alzheimer’s disease. The study demonstrated that meningeal lymphatic vessels in the brain play an essential role in maintaining a healthy homeostasis in ageing brains and could be a new target for […]

Know how obesity may cause early onset of Alzheimer's

Toronto: While ageing has been long identified as a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, a new study shows that obesity during middle age may contribute to the early development of the brain disorder, termed as the most common form of dementia. The results showed that ageing, combined with a high fat and high sugar […]

Brain cholesterol may increase Alzheimer's disease risk

London: Cholesterol — a molecule normally linked with cardiovascular diseases — may also play an important role in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers have found. The findings, published in the journal Nature Chemistry, suggests that in the brain, cholesterol acts as a catalyst which triggers the formation of the toxic clusters of […]

Alzheimer's patients may benefit from cell therapy

New York: Transplanting a special type of neuron into the Alzheimer’s brain can restore memory and other cognitive functions, a study has revealed that can lead to new treatment. The brain relies on the perfect coordination of many elements to function properly. If one of those elements is affected, it affects the entire body. In […]

Researchers discover 'switch' which can turn off inflammation

Sydney: Researchers have uncovered how an inflammation process automatically switches off in healthy cells, and are now investigating ways to stop it when it goes awry. The discovery, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, could be the key to stopping damage caused by uncontrolled inflammation in a range of common diseases including liver disease, […]

Anxiety could be an early indicator of Alzheimer

New York: Is your elderly grandfather showing higher levels of anxiety? Beware, it may signal the early manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers warned. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes the decline of cognitive function and the inability to carry out daily life activities. The findings showed that worsening anxiety symptoms in older adults […]

Neurological disease deaths up 36% in 25 years: Study

Moscow: The number of deaths due to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, stroke and epilepsy has increased by 36.7 per cent worldwide between 1990 and 2015, a study says. In 2015, these diseases comprised of 16.8 per cent of global deaths, according to the report by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project […]

'Two million Pakistanis suffer from Alzheimer's'

Islamabad: With the population of elderly people in the country growing fast, the incidence of Alzheimer’s is increasing alarmingly with around two million Pakistanis suffering from the preventable condition and their numbers continue to mount, health experts have warned. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behaviour changes and the […]

Multi-gene test found effective in predicting Alzheimer's disease

San Francisco: In a new test, a research team has found that combining the effects of over two dozen genetic variants help in predicting which cognitively normal older adults will go on to develop Alzheimer’s dementia. The advantage of the test, known as Polygenic Hazard Score (PHS), is relative to testing only for the well-known […]

Simple test to spot Alzheimer's risk

New York: An affordable non-invasive test that detects electrical activity in the brain may be used to spot people who are at the risk of Alzherimer’s, say researchers. Electroencephalogram (EEG) technology can be used to measure cognitive deficits in people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Individuals with aMCI are at twice the risk of […]

Protein that causes memory loss in healthy brains

London: A brain protein believed to be a key component in the progress of dementia can cause memory loss in healthy brains even before physical signs of degeneration appear, says a new University of Sussex study. The study reveals a direct link between the main culprit of Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss. Alzheimer’s disease is […]
