New study links cell phone radiation to Alzheimer’s disease
A new study published in the Current Alzheimer Research has shown a troubling connection between exposure to cell phone radiation and Alzheimer’s disease. The negative effect on the body, especially the brain, of cell phone radiation has long been known. The study indicates that too much exposure leads to higher levels of intracellular calcium in the brain, a major feature of […]

The song in your head: The brain can recognize familiar songs in just 300 milliseconds
The ability to recall a popular song is exemplified on “name that tune” game shows where contestants have to identify a snippet of music in just a few seconds. But British and Japanese researchers say that humans may actually do better than that: The brain only takes as little as one-tenth of a second to recognize a familiar tune. The finding, published in […]

New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the […]

Study: Walking slowly may be a sign of “accelerated aging” and that you’re more likely to get sick later in life
Slow walkers, beware: You may be more prone to developing serious illnesses later in life. This is according to a team of researchers, who found that 45-year-olds with a naturally slow pace when walking have bodies that exhibit signs of accelerated aging. These signs included impaired immune function and unhealthy lungs and teeth. Even worse was that […]

This neuron-killing protein travels from the gut to the brain by hijacking a nerve
A recent study published in the journal Neuron found that alpha-synuclein (a-syn), a protein genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease, spreads from the gut to the brain through the vagus nerve. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore tested a previously proposed hypothesis suggesting that the gut-brain axis is involved in the progression of Parkinson’s — a […]

Why do sufferers of Alzheimer’s nap so much? Study suggests the disease kills the cells needed to stay awake
A study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association found that in people with Alzheimer’s, tau proteins promote the degeneration of brain regions responsible for keeping people awake. This explains why excessive daytime napping is common among people with the disease and suggests that it could be an early sign of Alzheimer’s. Previous studies have explored […]

Researchers find a new method of using bone marrow stem cells to reverse multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal subjects
Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, is a type of treatment that harnesses the power of stem cells to promote the repair of diseased, dysfunctional or damaged tissue. Stem cells, which serve as the body’s raw materials, are the earliest form of all cells in the human body. Prior to their maturation into specialized […]

Novel finding suggests magnets can improve working memory
There may be a new alternative option for treating Alzheimer’s disease or dementia without resorting to toxic pharmaceutical drugs. A new approach uses magnets to stimulate the brain’s working memory. Researchers at Duke University have recently debuted an experimental therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) which applies a high-frequency magnetic pulse to the left prefrontal cortex […]

A recent study carried out by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco revealed that following a Mediterranean-style diet may mitigate the risk of developing dementia. The Mediterranean diet, which includes mostly oily fish, vegetables and nuts, has long been touted as a highly effective diet scheme against a plethora of diseases. As part of the […]
