The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared for marketing an innovative blood test with underlying technology invented at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Finding effective treatments for progressive supranuclear palsy has been one of the biggest challenges in brain disease research. A fresh analysis by scientists at Tel Aviv University now suggests that one experimental drug may have been overlooked because researchers originally analysed men and women together instead of separately. The study appeared in Molecular Psychiatry. Progressive […] The …

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center studying Parkinson's disease have discovered a previously unrecognized sequence of abnormal activity across multiple regions of the brain, providing a new level of understanding that could improve treatment options.

A one-year follow-up analysis of a landmark clinical trial suggests that patients with severe strokes experienced better long-term outcomes after undergoing endovascular thrombectomy compared with medical management alone.

COVID-19 can leave behind fatigue, breathing difficulties and neurological symptoms that persist long after the initial infection.

BackgroundPatients with minor ischemic stroke may still experience early neurological deterioration when severe intracranial stenosis or occlusion is present. The optimal role of endovascular treatment (EVT) in this imaging-defined population remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes associated with EVT and to explore prognostic factors in patients with minor ischemic stro…

A urinary tract infection may make memory problems worse after a traumatic brain injury, according to new research in mice. The study raises an important question about whether a common infection could interfere with the brain’s recovery after an injury. Traumatic brain injury, often shortened to TBI, happens when a blow, fall or other force […] The post Bladder Infection May Deepen Memory Proble…

Moving your body is generally good for your health, but new research suggests that all physical activity may not have the same relationship with the aging brain. A huge analysis found that exercise chosen for fun was linked to less dementia, while heavy physical activity at work was linked to more. The research came from […] The post The Kind of Exercise You Do May Matter for Dementia appeared fi…

Experts have spoken about the signs and symptoms and how people with Alzheimer’s can be better supported

A new generation of blood tests may change how Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed. A neurologist answers common questions about these tests.

A drug already used to treat cancer has helped scientists uncover a possible reason some older people develop serious confusion after surgery. In experiments with aged mice, the medicine reversed several brain changes linked to memory problems and disturbed sleep. The research could eventually help scientists understand postoperative delirium, a sudden state of confusion that […] The post Cancer …

IntroductionAlzheimer’s disease (AD) features progressive cognitive decline, Aβ aggregation, neurofibrillary tangles, mitochondrial dysfunction and central insulin resistance, lacking effective disease-modifying treatments. Liuwei Dihuang Pills (LWDHP) exert neuroprotective effects, while its dual regulatory mechanisms targeting mitochondrial homeostasis and cerebral IRS/AKT/GSK3β insulin signali…
