Doctors should monitor people facing hip repair surgery after a fall for post-operative delirium, even if they have no signs of dementia. Here's why.

When researchers improved the weak "cleaning system" in the brain cells of animals with Alzheimer's, symptoms almost disappeared.

A new drug cocktail could turn cells near damaged neurons into fully functional new ones.

A generic HIV drug shows promise for reducing age-related inflammation in mice. Could it treat Alzheimer's disease?

"...this study shows that sleep disruption causes the damaging protein tau to increase rapidly and to spread over time."

The test could one day also detect other neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, or stroke.

"...we have not only identified the epigenetic factors that contribute to the memory loss, we also found ways to temporarily reverse them in an animal model of AD."

Daytime napping alone is significantly associated with high levels of tau, a sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

"Without a complete understanding of the illness, we're not going to be able to develop therapies that work for all people."
