Silent Damage First: Alzheimer’s Disease Could Have Two Phases
People exposed to high levels of traffic-related air pollution are more likely to have more amyloid plaques in their brain, a condition associated with Alzheimer’s disease, a new study finds.
The discovery of a gene variant that rids the brain of toxic plaques linked to Alzheimer's might lead to new treatments for the disease, researchers report.
People who carry a gene that's associated with Alzheimer’s disease may lose their sense of smell long before memory and thinking problems occur, a new study suggests.
Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, affects millions of lives worldwide, robbing patients of their memories and thinking abilities.
Climate change is likely to make brain conditions like stroke, migraine, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis even worse, a new review warns.
Higher rates of blood vessel-damaging conditions like hypertension or diabetes may be driving up rates of cognitive decline and dementia among older American Indians, new research shows.
