New study sheds light on how Alzheimer’s disease damages the brain
Researchers claimed to have figured out exactly how amyloid beta and tau proteins harm the brain during the onset and progress of Alzheimer’s disease. They urged for therapies that simultaneously target both pathogenic proteins because the structures they formed could interact with each other. When amyloid beta accumulates in the brain, it forms stiff plaques. Similarly, high levels […]

Can oxygen treatments help prevent neurodegenerative disease?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) limits the amount of oxygen that reaches important parts of the body. Patients with this condition are, thus, very prone to developing neurodegenerative diseases. But a Canadian-led research team advised that giving these patients extra doses of oxygen could help prevent the onset of dementia. For their experiment, researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan flew all […]

Decreased deep sleep linked to cognitive decline and early signs of Alzheimer’s, warn researchers
Have you been having problems getting enough deep sleep? A new study warned that people who suffer from changing sleeping patterns could already be experiencing the initial symptoms of cognitive decline that eventually leads to Alzheimer’s disease. It is very difficult to detect this neurodegenerative disease. By the time it gets diagnosed, it often could not be slowed down […]

Nigerian vegetables show promise in preventing neurodegeneration
Nigerians have been eating editan (Lasianthera africana) and utazi (Gongronema latifolium) for thousands of years. It turns out that these locally-available and popular vegetables are rich in natural alkaloids that support the healthy function of the brain and prevent the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Plants synthesize alkaloids to repel herbivorous animals that graze on them. These phytochemicals often taste bitter […]

Could this tiny plant be the key to preventing memory loss?
One of the best ways to protect your brain from the symptoms of memory loss can be found inside tiny photosynthetic organisms that live in watery environments. Astaxanthin derived from algae can help maintain clear memory and normal brain function. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in all kinds of algae. It is also present in […]

Revolutionary microscopy technique allows scientists to better understand amyloid-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A new breed of powerful microscopes has enabled British researchers to make huge strides in the study of amyloid diseases. According to a Science Daily article, cryo-electron microscopes have enabled new discoveries about the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. These powerful instruments use electrons to view the shape of the samples. They can discern […]

Japanese researchers find that ultrasound therapy can be used to treat patients with dementia
A new therapy based on ultrasound waves might be able to improve the cognitive powers of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. According to an article on the Tohoku University news page, the approach improved the condition of mice with symptoms similar to human dementia. In their experiment, the Tohoku University […]

Study: Adding Chinese remedies to conventional medicine improve the cognitive function of Alzheimer’s patients
While Alzheimer’s disease cannot be cured, its degenerative effects can be slowed down or even halted through treatment with specialized medicines. However, the benefits imparted by these drugs do not last. A Chinese study experimented with using traditional herbal remedies as a complementary treatment alongside conventional drugs to make them last longer. Alzheimer’s disease is an increasingly common […]

Being sedentary can put you at risk of dementia
Canadian researchers urge people of all ages – including older people – to get off the couch and get more exercise. Their new study warns that couch potatoes are much more likely to develop dementia than regularly active people, an article in Natural Health 365 stated. What’s more, the McMaster University (MU)-led study adds that […]
