With the rise of new drugs that can target the amyloid-beta plaques in the brain that are an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, new ways are needed to determine whether memory loss and thinking problems are due to Alzheimer’s disease or another neurodegenerative disorder. A new study published in the November 15, 2023, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, shows that shrinkage in the hippocampus area of the brain is associated with cognitive decline, even in people who don’t have amyloid plaques in the brain. The hippocampus plays a role in memory.

Newborn boys are significantly more likely than girls to have a brain injury called hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, could lead to more effective HIE interventions for both boys and girls.
La epilepsia descontrolada de Lisa Lindahl la obligó a ser creativa a la hora de trabajar. En 1977 inventó el sujetador deportivo, que cambió la vida de miles de millones de mujeres y niñas en todo el mundo, y ahora es un mercado global de 40.000 millones de dólares.
Alzheimer’s disease slowly erases memories and cognitive abilities, upending families ― and it’s incurable. But there are steps you can take to slow and prevent it, says a Penn State Health expert.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights showcases the latest breakthroughs in cancer care, research and prevention.
Researchers performed complementary experiments showing that inhibiting a specific enzyme in a mouse model protects the dopamine-producing neurons that are normally lost as Parkinson's disease progresses, effectively halting the progression of the disease. The findings open the door to the development of novel therapeutics targeting the enzyme that may slow or prevent the progression of Parkinson's disease in people—a major unmet need.
Sitting in his cardiologist’s office at Cedars-Sinai one Friday afternoon in 2022, Cornelius Albert suddenly was unable to move or speak. “I had an attack,” said Albert, 76, who runs a court filing service and lives in View Park.
