The world, in perspective.

W Słupsku przeprowadzono pierwszą w Polsce i Europie eksperymentalną operację mającą wspomagać leczenie choroby Alzheimera. Zabieg trwał niemal pięć godzin, a 58-letni pacjent dwa dni później opuszcza szpital. Co udało się osiągnąć chirurgom i kiedy będzie można ocenić efekty? O szczegółach mówi w rozmowie z tvn24.pl główny operator, neurochirurg dr Daniel M

A consultant neurologist has called on the HSE to allow for access to a drug that can help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease in patients.

The MPA gave “Wildwood” a PG-13 for “strong fantasy violence/bloody images, thematic material, suicide-related material, brief partial nudity and language,” which is a mouthful for any movie and an especially wild one for a stop-motion picture about a girl hunting for her kidnapped baby brother. It’s the first PG-13 in Laika’s 17 years as a […]

Drugs will be tested simultaneously, which it's hoped will speed up the process of finding new treatments for this common type of dementia.

The glymphatic system flushes toxins out of the brain, but this seems to be disrupted in Alzheimer's disease, and cholesterol may be involved

After landing at Independent Film Company (formerly branded IFC) and Sapan Studio, the animated feature film “Tangles” has released a new trailer. Adapted by Leah Nelson, Trev Renney and Sarah Leavitt from Leavitt’s acclaimed graphic memoir “Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me,” the film tells its story through expressive, predominantly blac

People with the APOE4 gene variant have more to lose from unhealthy habits — and potentially more to gain from healthy ones.

Scientists have found a promising way to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage by blocking immune cells that contribute to the destruction of neurons. In mice, the treatment preserved roughly 40% more tissue in memory centers and improved memory, even without removing harmful tau protein buildup.

Scientists have discovered why some people with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer’s remain mentally sharp into their 80s, uncovering a rare mutation that protects the brain from harmful protein buildup. The findings reveal a potential new way to prevent early brain damage and could pave the way for treatments that mimic this natural defense.

Walking just 3,000 steps a day could help slow Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, according to new research. Scientists discovered that physical activity was linked to less buildup of harmful tau proteins and nearly half the cognitive and functional decline, even in people already showing early signs of the disease. The strongest benefits appeared at 5,000 t

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: overactive immune cells in the brain. By temporarily removing these cells, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day in mice, revealing a promising new target for treatment.
