Discovered: New Secret To Maintaining A Strong Memory For Life

By |2023-02-13T10:15:47-05:00February 13th, 2023|Brain Science|

There’s no single “key” that can explain how the body and brain age. The biological changes that accompany aging involve multiple processes that lead to increasing levels of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, reduced ability to dispose of cellular waste, dysfunctions in energy production and metabolism, telomere shortening and more. As if the biology of [...]

The “Zombie” That’s Threatening Your Memory

By |2023-02-06T10:13:05-05:00February 6th, 2023|Brain Science|

You probably think zombies are only made up for scary television, movies, and books. However, that’s not entirely true… There’s a real-life zombie that can weaken your memory and lead you down the road to Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s what you need to know… As cells age, their health can be compromised by a process called [...]

Can A Laser Beam Save Your Memory From Aging?

By |2023-02-03T09:39:47-05:00February 3rd, 2023|Brain Science|

This must surely be the holy grail of non-invasive therapies for memory loss. You don’t feel a thing. This therapy doesn’t generate any tingling or even heat—which is surprising because it’s a laser. And this laser just sits on your head for a few minutes and the job is done. The treatment can even be [...]

Strengthening This Brain Region Is a Key to Better Memory and Better Health

By |2023-01-30T10:45:44-05:00January 30th, 2023|Brain Science|

The part of your brain called the hypothalamus plays a central role in your daily life. It keeps tabs on your daily rhythms – regulating appetite, metabolism, sexual behavior, the release of hormones, and your internal temperature. When this part of the brain starts to slip, your memory can weaken. But there are ways you [...]

Cutting-Edge Brain Therapy Lifts Lagging Memory At Any Age

By |2022-11-11T12:15:10-05:00November 11th, 2022|Brain Science|

A brain training program using computers has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia in seniors. So has stimulating the brain with a mild electrical current. What would happen if doctors used both cutting-edge therapies together? That’s what researchers from the U.K., Italy and Canada wanted to find out. Here’s what you need to [...]

Why Not Everyone With Brain Plaque Gets Alzheimer’s Disease

By |2022-10-31T10:18:33-04:00October 31st, 2022|Brain Science|

Reducing thick, sticky plaques made up of amyloid-beta proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients has been the focus of scientists for decades. And yet, they have almost nothing to show for it-- removing those plaques doesn’t cure Alzheimer’s disease. A new study suggests a reason why and, if true, will usher in a completely [...]

What If Alzheimer’s Isn’t A Brain Disease? A Canadian Scientist’s New Discovery…

By |2022-10-24T10:08:13-04:00October 24th, 2022|Brain Science|

Has Dr. Donald Weaver lost his mind? How can he possibly suggest Alzheimer’s isn’t a brain disease? But hold on. What he’s saying about the cause of Alzheimer’s disease makes more sense than appears at first sight. Although the disease shows up in the brain, its foundation might lie elsewhere. And that’s within the immune [...]

Zapping The Brain Boosts Memory

By |2022-09-30T11:26:59-04:00September 30th, 2022|Brain Science|

A new technology could come to the rescue of people who are suffering either short-term or long-term memory loss. Even more exciting, it can restore memory in a way that’s fast, safe, non-invasive, and free of side effects. Experts describe the most recent findings using the new technique as “extremely promising,” “quite remarkable,” “very exciting,” [...]

Claims of Fraud In Alzheimer’s Research

By |2022-09-13T13:02:51-04:00September 9th, 2022|Brain Science|

It’s one of the most cited scientific articles on Alzheimer’s ever published - a breakthrough 2006 study that identified amyloid beta star 56 as the cause of memory loss in mice. This single study led to billions of dollars in funding and a major research effort to find a treatment that would sweep the damaging [...]

Can One Brain Scan Diagnose Alzheimer’s?

By |2022-08-29T09:51:15-04:00August 29th, 2022|Brain Science|

A patient with suspected Alzheimer's may undergo a range of tests and examinations before a diagnosis is ever reached. This is time consuming, and, in the end, the diagnosis might not even be accurate. The reality is, up until recently, it was very difficult to diagnose Alzheimer’s with certainty until after death, during an autopsy [...]
