A new molecular imaging method can monitor the success of gene therapy in all areas of the brain, potentially allowing physicians to more effectively address brain conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.
Analysis of large data sets from post-mortem brain samples of people with and without Alzheimer's disease has revealed new evidence that viral species, particularly herpesviruses, may have a role in Alzheimer’s disease biology.
An international team of scientists has discovered that memory, learning and cognitive flexibility depend on a 'switch off' of the Arc protein in the brain, which could enable us to better understand and combat neurological diseases that inhibit memory, such as Alzheimer's.
A study reveals why people with the APOE4 gene have a higher risk of the disease...
The Alzheimer’s Association have published a study wherein a model estimates the lifetime risk of an individual developing Alzheimer’s disease dementia. The risk varies with such factors as age and gender, and crucially takes account of preclinical biological changes.

A new study which identifies how acetylcholine impacts learning and memory by acting at different receptors could prove significant in the drive to develop more targeted and effective therapies for dementia...
Research at MedUni Vienna’s Centre for Brain Research has investigated changes in certain lipids (choline phospholipids) in the plasma of elderly people who were healthy and those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Understanding how motor nerve cells respond to motor neurone disease could help researchers identify new treatment options...
Scientists in Moscow have extended the reach of QSP modelling by applying it to tau phosphorylation to better understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression.
