The Quality of Life in Alzheimer Disease (QOL-AD), used to evaluate patient well-being, showed a significantly higher (better) score in the low-dose Lomecel-B group versus the placebo group at six months after the single treatment. Brain imaging by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an increase in left hippocampus volume three months after a Lomecel-B infusion in the ...
Optina, an innovative diagnostics company, leader in retinal imaging, brain health and systemic disease detection, announces the closing of an up to US$2.1M investment from the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF). ...
The consequences of snoring are much more serious than an inconvenient disruption in one’s sleep pattern. In addition to the health issues and fatigue that are associated with snoring, it is now known that frequent snoring can actually cause harm to the brain. The most recent research on brain health and snoring shows the damage that can occur, and further emphasizes why it is crucial to ...
Guilarte, PhD, senior author of the new study, believed the answer was in the direct inhibitory effect of lead on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), a synaptic connection point important to brain development, learning, and memory. His research in rodents found that exposure to lead blunted the function of the NMDAR. ...
Buckner led an extensive research effort to characterize brain systems important to memory and cognition. One of his most significant findings was the identification of activity patterns in specific regions of the brain during memorization tests that can predict if someone will remember an individual word. ...
Alzheimer’s disease is associated with the development of a toxic protein in the brain known as amyloid beta. The amyloid beta protein rapidly self-assembles in the brain and builds up to form plaques which are a hallmark of the disease. It is thought that the accumulation of small amyloid beta aggregates and plaques in the brain disrupt ...
