Increases in Brain Protein, Not Just Amyloid Clearance, Linked to Slower Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s

A study challenges the amyloid plaque theory in Alzheimer’s, showing that increased levels of the brain protein Aβ42 are as strongly correlated with slower cognitive decline as reductions in amyloid plaques.

Throat Issues Linked to Lower Blood Pressure Regulation

A study finds that throat issues lead to reduced baroreflex sensitivity, impairing blood pressure regulation. This reduction may be due to the Vagus nerve prioritizing airway protection over blood pressure control.
