Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance or ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...

New research shows fat buildup disables brain’s immune defenses in Alzheimer’s. A mouse treatment cleared plaques in just one week.
