Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

Seemingly unrelated diseases and conditions like Alzheimer's disease, obesity, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, and ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

Memory problems affect virtually everyone at some point in their daily lives, yet people often feel embarrassed or worried when they experience these perfectly normal cognitive hiccups. The human ...
