Could the geometry of our brains increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease? It’s a provocative question, but one that some scientists are beginning to explore.

A gene variant called APOE4 is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Scientists are finally figuring out how it works.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: overactive immune cells in the brain. By temporarily removing these cells, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day in mice, revealing a promising…

Scientists have discovered why some people with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer’s remain mentally sharp into their 80s, uncovering a rare mutation that protects the brain from harmful protein buildup.…

Walking just 3,000 steps a day could help slow Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, according to new research. Scientists discovered that physical activity was linked to less buildup of harmful tau proteins and nearly half the cognitive and functional…

Drugs will be tested simultaneously, which it's hoped will speed up the process of finding new treatments for this common type of dementia.

USC researchers have identified potential new drug compounds that may reduce the brain inflammation linked to Alzheimer’s disease, especially in people with the high-risk APOE4 gene.…

CBD may be doing far more than just easing pain or anxiety — new research suggests it could help fight Alzheimer’s disease by calming the brain’s runaway immune response.…

The drug is likely to remain out of reach for most, with the current cost standing at R 91,688 for a single vial.

A sweeping new evidence review found that today's top Alzheimer's drugs "probably result in little to no difference" in reducing dementia severity or anything else that matters to patients. Journalists…

Eating eggs might do more than just start your day—it could help protect your brain. Researchers found that people 65 and older who eat eggs regularly have a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, with daily or near-daily consumption…

A team of researchers from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria analyzed sleep-centric medical studies published over the last quarter century to better understand how a lack of sleep affects the br…

Families with rare gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's in middle age are giving scientists a unique window on the disease, and a quick way to test potential treatments.

To be more specific, diet plans like the Mediterranean diet and MIND diet promote brain health because they focus on consuming natural, unprocessed foods.
