2019-01-11 – A resource with information on gene regulation from more than 2,000 human brains yielded insights into mental disorders and will enable future studies of human brain development and function. Learn more: Revealing gene regulation in the brain
2019-01-10 – Read ANA member Dr. S. Andrew Josephson's take on the fascinating case about a man in Nebraska who was on the brink of death and came back from dangerous brain swelling in Live Science: How Did 'Miracle' Man Come Back from Dangerous Brain Swelling?
2019-01-09 – In a study of fruit flies, NIH scientists suggested that the body’s immune system may play a critical role in the damage caused by aging brain disorders. The results are based on experiments in which the researchers altered the activity of Cdk5, a gene that preclinical studies have suggested is…
2019-01-08 – A new publication from ANA president David Holtzman, MD summarizes increases in our understanding of the involvement of TREM2 and microglia in Alzheimer's disease development that may open new therapeutic strategies targeting the immune system to influence AD pathogenesis. Learn more: New insights…
2019-01-06 – An ultrasensitive test has been developed that detects a corrupted protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition found in athletes, military veterans, and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. This advance could lead to early…
2019-01-06 – Six months of regular aerobic exercise led to improved executive functioning in adults at risk for cognitive decline, researchers for the ENLIGHTEN trial reported. In a randomized clinical trial of exercise and diet in sedentary adults with cognitive impairment but no dementia (CIND) and…
2018-12-28 – Incorporating genetic diversity into a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease resulted in greater overlap with the genetic, molecular and clinical features of this pervasive human disease, according to a study funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health.…
2018-12-21 – An ultrasensitive test has been developed that detects a corrupted protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition found in athletes, military veterans, and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. This advance could lead to early…
