Researchers have identified a brain protein whose absence leads to memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice.

Scientists are reporting the first compelling evidence in people that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines with age. A 10-week study of people 65 or older ...

Intranasal insulin effectively targets brain regions involved in memory and cognition, showing promise for Alzheimer and MCI treatment. Insulin uptake varied among participants, with higher uptake in ...

Virginia Tech researchers are investigating how overloaded mitochondria in the brain’s memory circuits may spark early Alzheimer’s damage. Their work focuses on calcium signaling and how it might ...

A groundbreaking brain imaging study from Wake Forest University School of Medicine confirms a vital step toward new Alzheimer's disease treatments: Intranasal insulin, delivered via a simple nasal ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

When you're mentally exhausted, your brain might be doing more behind the scenes than you think. In a new study using functional MRI, researchers uncovered two key brain regions that activate when ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...
