A common sleep aid restores healthier sleep patterns and protects mice from the brain damage seen in neurodegenerative disorders.

Poor sleep quality is linked to a brain region vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease, a new study finds.

Engineered microglia show promise for treating Alzheimer's and other brain diseases, according to new research.

"It's exciting that these diabetes medications may offer additional benefits, such as protecting brain health."

"...your high school experience, not just whether you received a diploma or went on to college, shapes your brain health decades later."

Vocal changes in birds may predict age-related disorders like Alzheimer's disease in people, according to a new study.

"The eye is a window to the brain reflecting changes associated with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease."
