"Drains" in the brain, responsible for clearing toxic waste in the organ, tend to get clogged up in people who show signs of ...

Tulane University researchers created a first-of-its-kind subcellular map of an area of the brain commonly affected by Alzheimer’s disease, a key step toward unraveling the mysteries of how the ...

One of the first parts of the brain affected by Alzheimer's disease is the entorhinal cortex - a region that plays a big role in memory, spatial navigation, and the brain's internal mapping system.

A neuroimaging study of individuals spanning the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum found that the attenuated anticorrelation ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through neural highways and how certain genes either accelerate its toxic journey ...

There are more than 7 million people currently living with the devastating disease known as Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's causes changes to the brain that result in memory loss, moodiness, trouble learning ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain may have a built-in way to fight Alzheimer’s.

USC researchers have found a promising new brain scan marker that could better detect Alzheimer’s risk — but only for some. The tau-based benchmark works in Hispanic and White populations when paired ...

Whether your family is affected by Alzheimer's or you simply want to learn more about the disease, this conference in Boca ...

A new study suggests you may want to pay better attention to your HDL cholesterol — but not for the reason you might think.
