Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how Alzheimer’s disease develops, and a decades-old drug could be the key to stopping the condition in its tracks. It is well established that ...

A 20-year study found a brain game that boosts speed and splits attention helped prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

As dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases become more common worldwide, researchers are searching urgently for ways to ...

The drug would need to be taken long before symptoms first appear—but it could be used to help protect at-risk individuals.

The research found that mice with Alzheimer's disease symptoms improved when a certain brain protein was suppressed.

New research suggests Alzheimer’s may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early ...

Staying mentally active throughout life—by reading, writing, playing games, or even learning a new language—may be linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and slower cognitive decline, according ...

Lifelong learning can delay Alzheimer's by 5 years. New research explores the link between mental activity and dementia risk.

Adults age 65 and older who completed five to six weeks of cognitive speed training - in this case, speed of processing training, which helps people quickly find visual information on a computer ...

A new study found that fixing energy balance in the brain reversed symptoms of advanced Alzheimer’s in mice. Researchers used a drug (P7C3-A20) to restore levels of NAD+, a crucial molecule for cell ...

An experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention for Alzheimer’s disease. In a new study, Northwestern scientists identified a ...

SALT LAKE CITY — Researchers are slowly tossing much of what we've been told for many years about Alzheimer's disease out the window — and replacing what has been a very dreary tale with new findings ...
