Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, inflammation, and brain atrophy. The condition may affect different parts of ...

6, 2024 — Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. ... New Brain Mapping Technique ...

Alzheimer’s disease primarily affects people over the age of 65, but it’s never too early to be aware of the warning signs of this common brain disorder. And you may be able to detect them ...

Ten years later, they had brain imaging to detect signs related to dementia, when they were 50 or older. The new research, published Wednesday in the journal Neurology, found people with lower ...

Both beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles are early signs of the brain’s march toward a possible Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Amyloid plaques typically appear first, with tau tangles ...

Brain volume change following anti-amyloid β immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease: amyloid-removal-related pseudo-atrophy. The Lancet Neurology , 2024; 23 (10): 1025 DOI: 10.1016/S1474-4422(24 ...

One of the key features of Alzheimer’s disease is an accumulation of a harmful protein called tau. In a healthy brain, tau primarily helps to support and stabilise brain cells (neurons).

A loss of brain volume associated with new immunotherapies for Alzheimer's disease may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue, finds a study ...
