Washington, May 16 (ANI): When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function.

Washington, May 15 (ANI): Many of the biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that could potentially predict which patients will develop the disorder later in life have already been identified.

London, May 12 (ANI): The increase in waistlines could fuel a big rise in the number of people with dementia in the future, researchers have warned.

Washington, May 5 (ANI): UC San Francisco researchers have discovered that a key type of human brain cell developed in the laboratory grows seamlessly when transplanted into the brains of mice.

Washington, April 22 (ANI): In a study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, human embryonic stem cells have for the first time been transformed into nerve cells that helped mice regain the ability to learn and remember.

Washington, April 22 (ANI): A new study has found that berries seem to promote autophagy, the brain's natural housekeeping mechanism, thereby reducing the toxic accumulation.

London, April 21 (ANI): Living a healthy lifestyle not only protect against heart disease and stroke, it also helps keep Alzheimer's at bay, according to a new research.

London, April 19 (ANI): A Tel Aviv University study has revealed the missing link between brain patterns and Alzheimer's disease.

Washington, April 18 (ANI): Using sea snail nerve cells, neuroscientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) reversed memory loss by determining when the cells were primed for learning.

Washington, April 16 (ANI): UC San Francisco scientists have revealed that specific DNA once dismissed as junk plays an important role in brain development and might be involved in several devastating neurological diseases.

Washington, April 16 (ANI): High levels of blood cholesterol increase the risk of both Alzheimer's disease and heart disease, but it has been unclear exactly how cholesterol damages the brain to promote Alzheimer's disease and blood vessels to promote atherosclerosis.

Washington, April 15 (ANI): Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have unravelled one of the major toxic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease.

Washington, April 14 (ANI): A new study has shed light on neuroprotective effects of cocoa polyphenols, which may have important implications for prevention of cognitive impairment in elderly and in neurodegenerative diseases in counteracting disease's progression.

London, April 12 (ANI): Playing online puzzles like crosswords and wordsearch could help your brain stay active and reduce your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease, scientists say.

Washington, April 7 (ANI): UCLA researchers have developed a new brain-imaging tool to help identify signs of cognitive decline early on in individuals who don't yet show symptoms of dementia.

Washington, April 7 (ANI): The sensation of hunger itself may protect against Alzheimer's disease, a new study on mice has suggested.
