Vascular dementia has long been overshadowed by Alzheimer’s disease, yet it is one of the leading causes of cognitive decline ...

Replacing a missing brain lipid may calm overactive blood vessels and restore healthy blood flow—opening a new path toward treating dementia.

Medical science has come a long way in the last few decades. With technological advances and innovations, researchers and ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...

Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and ...

A new study reveals that fragmented sleep causes cellular damage to the brain's blood vessels, providing further evidence to suggest that sleep disruption predisposes the brain to dementia. "We found ...

New research suggests Alzheimer’s may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early ...

Overactive immune response disrupts brain function before neuronal damage occurs. Tracking urea levels and nerve cell markers ...

Stress may lead to altered blood flow in the brain, reveals a new study. The findings may give vital clues to the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia, say ...
