Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

Researchers show that in mice, tumor-secreted cystatin-C crosses the blood–brain barrier and stimulates microglia to degrade amyloid plaques, which opens interesting avenues for translational clinical ...

A new study in expert birders suggests that becoming an expert in a given field could help slow down cognitive decline.

SuperAgers over 80 generate twice as many new brain cells as typical older adults, explaining their exceptional memory that ...

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...

Researchers discover that COVID-19 uniquely causes brain inflammation and disrupts serotonin/dopamine pathways, explaining ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

“SuperAgers have more immature neurons and neuroblasts in the hippocampus, which is an indication of stronger neurogenesis ...

Parkinson's disease affects the brain neurons, causing damage and also affects the movement, tremor and stiffness, but do you ...

Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

Participants with three or more cerebral microbleeds of any pattern also had an increased risk of dementia (HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.35-2.72), as did peers with at least two subcortical microbleeds, ...
