Forgetfulness might depend on time of day
Mouse study connects body clock and memory recall
HIV/AIDS, diabetes, organ transplant drugs possible Alzheimer’s treatment approaches
Alzheimer’s Association part the cloud program takes the field a step closer to effective therapy with 5 new grants
Obesity, but not poor diet and inactivity, linked to higher risk of dementia
Could being inactive and eating poorly be early signs of dementia, not causes?
Are herpes virus infections linked to Alzheimer’s disease?
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report today in the journal Neuron evidence that refutes the link between increased levels of herpes virus and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the researchers provide a new statistical and computational framework for the analysis…

Mass General team detects Alzheimer’s early using electronic health records
BOSTON – A team of scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has developed a software-based method of scanning electronic health records (EHRs) to estimate the risk that a healthy person will receive a dementia diagnosis in the future. Their algorithm…
Blue mushroom dye used to develop new fluorescent tool for cell biologists
A new fluorescent tool for detecting reactive oxygen species based on a chemical found in mushrooms has been developed by scientists at the University of Bath. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as free radicals and peroxides, are produced in cells…
Astrophysics and AI may offer key to early dementia diagnosis
Crucial early diagnosis of dementia in general practice could improve thanks to a computer model designed in a collaboration between Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) and astrophysicists at the University of Sussex. Currently, only two-thirds of people with dementia…
Changes in the immune system explain why belly fat is bad for thinking
Iowa State researchers have found for the first time that less muscle and more body fat may affect how flexible our thinking gets as we become older, and changes in parts of the immune system could be responsible. These findings…
