Six minutes of high-intensity exercise could extend the lifespan of a healthy brain and delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders.

The researchers analysed tissue samples from both healthy brains and brains of patients with dementia.

To diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, clinicians use guidelines set in 2011 by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer’s Association.

The study found an increase in risk due to PTSD and TBI in Veterans of European ancestry who inherited the ε4 variant.

big dynorphin, an endogenous opioid peptide, protects neurons against the cytotoxic effects of β-amyloid accumulation.

This is the first to tie the genetic risk of ADHD to the chances of developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

High blood pressure and stiff arteries contribute to the development of heart disease.

A new study has identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages.

Contrary to popular belief less than one in 100 cases of Alzheimer’s is caused by genes, and risk factors can be identified from age 35.

The brain’s big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. This is shown by a study published in the journal Nature Aging.

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer’s disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms.

The telltale signs of dementia are familiar to many of us, with memory loss, confusion, and difficulty concentrating that gradually get worse over time.

The two most common neurodegenerative dementias are Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
