One in three families knows someone living with memory loss, and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease affects tens of millions worldwide. The strongest common genetic risk factor is APOE: the E4 isoform ...

Researchers have reversed memory loss in aging mice by targeting a protein that builds up in brain cells, pointing toward a potential pathway to counter the cognitive declines of aging. In a new study ...

Alzheimer’s has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brain’s energy supply help drive the disease—and ...

Researchers have achieved what once sounded like science fiction: using engineered nanoparticles to restore brain function in ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

A team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that accelerating the brain’s waste removal system could have tremendous implications for our memory. As ...

Manipulating mouse brains during sleep improved their ability to remember new experiences that would normally be forgotten—a finding with important implications for treating Alzheimer's disease and ...

For decades, scientists have looked at various mechanisms responsible for the decline of our mental faculties as we age. A new discovery shows that the accumulation of a certain protein called the ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels (green) in tissue called the meninges (blue) surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers at ...
