Scientists use crabs to validate popular method to identify unknown human brain neurons
on December 6, 2019 at 4:28 pm
A crab's nervous system could help scientists learn what causes single neurons in the human brain to become 'out of whack,' which can contribute to the development of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Knowing exactly how a single neuron operates among the billions housed in the human brain could one day help scientists design innovative ways to prevent and treat these diseases, such as targeted therapies.

Improving blood vessel health in brain may help combat Alzheimer's
on December 5, 2019 at 12:30 pm
Researchers have found that very slow spontaneous blood vessel pulsations drive the clearance of substances from the brain, indicating that targeting and improving this process may help to prevent or treat amyloid-beta accumulation.

Hydromethylthionine could slow cognitive decline: Minimum dose
on November 27, 2019 at 5:12 pm
Researchers have reported unexpected results of a pharmacokinetic analysis of the relationship between treatment dose, blood levels and pharmacological activity of the drug hydromethylthionine on the brain in over 1,000 patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
