Mitochondria power-supply failure may cause age-related cognitive impairment
Brains are like puzzles, requiring many nested and codependent pieces to function well.
Scientists show how gene expression controls synaptic plasticity in the aging human brain
Scientific evidence shows how the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by the buildup of amyloid beta proteins, which promote synaptic malfunction.
Researchers map deep brain stimulation target for Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old. While many potential treatments for the neurodegenerative disease focus on developing drugs to target key culprits, a relatively new approach aims to more directly treat the brain.
