A surprising new study has uncovered over 200 misfolded proteins in the brains of aging rats with cognitive decline, beyond the infamous amyloid and tau plaques long blamed for Alzheimer’s. These ...

For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which ...

The study investigates the link between pesticide exposure and cognitive impairment in older adults, suggesting a need for ...

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A ...

Fatigue is a feeling of constant exhaustion, burnout, or lack of energy. A very particular state of fatigue, cognitive fatigue, drastically influences sustained attention and focus. To date, there ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a pivotal role in the activation of myeloid cells and is currently being investigated as a potential therapeutic target in several ...

New research shows how the brain replays and organizes memories, even compressing long experiences into short, fixed-length ...

Findings suggest that Alzheimer’s risk genes drive tau buildup and spread through both network-based and independent mechanisms.

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Research on synthetic psychedelics progresses, and there's hope to prove psilocybin safe and effective in intractable ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...
