Brain training reduces dementia risk by 25% over 20 years, long-term study finds. Cognitive speed training shows lasting protection against Alzheimer's disease.

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

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

By far the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is a variant of apolipoprotein E, or ApoE. People who carry ...

Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have identified a promising drug target for Alzheimer's disease. The team ...

Nearly 7 million Americans are living with dementia, but researchers say millions more likely have dementia symptoms but no ...

Combining low-dose tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) celecoxib improved cognition and reduced Alzheimer’s-related brain pathology in mice. The corresponding ...

Some people develop Alzheimer’s-related brain changes without experiencing symptoms of the disease, such as memory loss. We don’t know exactly why this occurs, but two recent studies are inching us ...

Place cells—the hippocampal neurons discovered by Nobel laureate John O’Keefe, PhD—normally fire in crisp, rapid sequences that replay our recent experiences during rest, helping memories take hold.

A new study in Panama finds that nitrogen availability limits forest growth in the early stages of regeneration. Nitrogen addition to newly cleared land and 10-year-old forests substantially boosted ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while we are resting, according to a new study in mice by University College ...
