Low doses of carbon monoxide, similar to levels experienced by smokers, can protect against neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease models. Researchers discovered that carbon monoxide reduced the accumulation of the Parkinson’s-associated…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression varies based on the presence of tau and amyloid-beta (Aβ) proteins in the brain. Patients with high levels of both tau and Aβ experience rapid memory…
People with a history of upper gastrointestinal (GI) damage have a 76% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The research highlights how conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, and NSAID use…
A recent study has found a positive correlation between nighttime light pollution and the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the United States. Researchers discovered that higher levels of light…
Mindfulness meditation reduces pain by engaging distinct brain mechanisms, different from the placebo effect. Researchers found that mindfulness meditation was significantly more effective at reducing pain intensity and unpleasantness compared…
Researchers have discovered a new type of brain cell that fires electric impulses, challenging the long-held belief that only neurons can do so. These hybrid cells, part neuron and part…
A recent study explored the link between cadmium exposure and cognitive decline, finding that higher cadmium levels may be associated with thinking and memory problems in white people. The study…
A new clinical trial will test three drugs concurrently to find treatments for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. The trial aims to slow the relentless…
A recent study has shown that troriluzole can prevent early-stage brain changes in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. The research demonstrated that troriluzole reduces harmful glutamate levels, preserving memory…
Researchers have discovered that the Tau protein, often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, also has a protective role in the brain. Tau helps combat oxidative stress by aiding in…
