What the Brain of a 104-Year-Old Nun Taught Us About Vascular Dementia
To understand dementia, scientists are looking anew at a neglected piece of the puzzle: the web of blood vessels nourishing the brain.
BrainFacts/SfN
Untangling the Link Between Head Injuries and CTE
Autopsies of American football players’ brains built our current understanding of the hazards associated with repeated blows to the head.
BrainFacts/SfN
What Brain Banks Can Teach Us About Alzheimer's
Research at the Calgary Brain Bank bridges the gap between exploratory animal models and human clinical trials. It may also upend decades of thinking about Alzheimer’s in the process.
BrainFacts/SfN
Music as Therapy
People with dementia can still recognize their favorite tunes, even when they remember little else leading researchers to investigate the potential of music therapy for Alzheimer’s disease.
BrainFacts/SfN
Figuring Out Why Alzheimer's Disease Strikes More Women Than Men
Most people don’t know the staggering sex disparity amongst Alzheimer’s patients: two-thirds of those patients are women. Why?
BrainFacts/SfN
The Sleep-Deprived Brain
A new study now shows that just one night of sleep deprivation results in the accumulation in the brain of a protein implicated in Alzheimer's
