Summary: A new study questions whether playing youth football leads to harmful protein buildup in the brain. Researchers ...

In recent years, some scientists and advocates have warned that playing contact sports like football and hockey may increase ...

New research indicates a potential link between improved sleep and reduced Alzheimer's risk. A study reveals that sleeping pills, like suvorexant, may help clear toxic proteins from the brain, ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

We spoke to the first author of a new study that could challenge much of what we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease.

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known ...

Findings suggest that Alzheimer’s risk genes drive tau buildup and spread through both network-based and independent mechanisms.

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...
