A natural brain defense mechanism shows promise against Alzheimer’s damage, revealing a surprising path scientists are ...

An analysis of Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project study data found that a high-fat diet was associated with a faster ...

New research reveals that air pollution, especially PM2.5, may contribute to cerebral atrophy but does not seem to impair cognitive function. Urbanization affects the strength of this link. Study: ...

A study showed that SORLA protects against toxic tau tangles by reducing tau accumulation, preserving synapses, and limiting ...

A protein called SORLA may act as a powerful defense against the toxic tau tangles involved in Alzheimer’s disease. Mice with extra SORLA had less tau accumulation, less brain atrophy, and healthier ...

As you get older, something alarming happens to your brain: It shrinks. This brain atrophy, which to some extent is a normal part of aging, typically begins in your 30s and 40s and accelerates after ...

This is also what brain atrophy—as revealed by brain imaging—appears to suggest. "We measured the thickness of the cerebral cortex in 50,000 locations," said Rahayel. "Although the individuals did not ...

A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

New MRI research reveals that heavy smoking can shrink key brain regions tied to memory and cognition, and excess weight might intensify the damage, raising fresh questions about dementia prevention.

Brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS) reflects progressive neurodegeneration that correlates with disability, cognitive decline and long-term prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumetric ...

Brain atrophy patterns are similar in individuals with obesity and those with Alzheimer's disease (AD), a new study shows. Comparisons of MRI scans for more than 1000 participants indicate ...

Research led by a University of Sydney medical student could enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis of behavioral variant ...
