Researchers tested an experimental drug called NAP, originally developed for Alzheimer's disease, on nerve cells in a model of ADNP syndrome with the mutation that induced Alzheimer's-like symptoms. The team found that the damaged nerve-like cells regained normal function.

A new study suggests that enjoying short-term pleasurable activities that don’t lead to long-term goals contributes at least as much to a happy life as self-control.

By tuning into a subset of brain waves, researchers have dramatically reduced the power requirements of neural interfaces while improving their accuracy, a discovery that could lead to long-lasting brain implants.

Naturally occurring lithium in public drinking water may have an anti-suicidal effect, according to a new study.

Flu (influenza) and pneumonia vaccinations are associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research reported.

Osaka University researchers show that salt crystals can precipitate at low concentrations owing to local density fluctuation and their repeated precipitation-dissolution behavior promotes aggregation of Amyloid-β peptides implicated in Alzheimer's.

Published in Neuron, the study reveals how the normal brain network function of hippocampus cells which works to discriminate a distinct spatial environment in a process called "remapping," was disrupted in Alzheimer's disease.

A new review looks at the effect that smoking and vaping may have on the cerebrovascular and neurological systems of COVID-19 patients.

Researchers have shown that inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase enzyme (sEH) in murine models of Alzheimer's disease decreases the neuroinflammatory process, thereby improving the body’s endogenous response and reducing the deterioration and death of neurons that cause this type of dementia.

A research team reports the continuous survival of neurons is also intrinsically programmed during development.
