Nanoplastics related to Parkinson's disease
Nanoplastics interact with a particular protein that is naturally found in the brain, creating changes linked to Parkinson's disease and some types of dementia.
In a detailed study, Diet's Role in Modifying Risk of Alzheimer's Disease: History and Present Understanding published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, we can finally see which diets are helpful in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers explore how chronic caffeine consumption potentially impacts brain plasticity and the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
Exercise Boosts Brain Power
New research reveals that moderate exercise improves cognitive performance (CP) even under conditions of sleep deprivation and low oxygen levels.
Less cholesterol = Less Alzheimer's
In Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, cognitive decline is driven by the overaccumulation of a normal brain protein known as tau. Wherever tau builds up, nearby brain tissue starts to degenerate and die.
Headaches are common, and headaches after drinking alcohol are particularly common. An interesting epidemiologic phenomenon, not yet adequately explained, is why red wine is associated with more headache than other forms of alcohol. There have been many studies fingering many suspects, from sulfites to tannins to various phenolic compounds, but...
In a recent study published in the Nutrition Journal, researchers examined a prospective population-based United Kingdom (U.K.) Biobank cohort to examine associations between free and intrinsic sugar sources and the risk of dementia.
In a recent prospective cohort study published in Jama Network Open, researchers examine whether younger age at atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosis is associated with a higher risk of incident dementia.
The importance of the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD), especially at the stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is increasingly recognized for the early management and intervention of the disease.
