Differences Between Alzheimer's and Dementia   People have been talking about dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) for over 100 years now. Yet, in most cases, the difference between them is not clear. Is there a real difference?

Accumulated brain protein affects genes in Alzheimer's disease   A new study published in February 2020 in the journal Cell Reports shows how the build-up of specific brain cell proteins are linked to altered gene expression that causes the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD).         Blood Flow Through the Brain & Alzheimer’s Disease   This article will highlight the importance of brain blood flow to health and how Alzheimer’s disease is marked with severe reductions.

Alzheimer's could be detected early using a blood test   Researchers have reported that a blood test could soon be an important diagnostic tool in detecting the abnormal proteins deposits in the brain that lead to the progressive and debilitating condition of Alzheimer's disease.       Alzheimer's and its helper protein   It is commonly observed that the brain in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often contains fibrils of tau protein, which build up within the brain neurons to interrupt proper communication between them.       Dementia prevalence falling but the number of cases will double by 2050   Alzheimer Europe presented a new study at a European Parliament lunch debate in February 2020, which projects a doubling of the number of cases with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by 2050.       Subtle differences in cognitive performance predict progression to Alzheimer's pathology   Alzheimer's disease is progressive, but slow to develop -- or at least to reveal itself. Subtle differences in cognitive performance, are a sign that harmful proteins are accumulating in the brain, even if levels of those proteins do not yet qualify as dangerous.       Scientists identify gene as potential therapeutic target for dementia in people with Parkinson's   Dementia is one of the most debilitating consequences of Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological condition characterized by tremors, stiffness, slow movement and impaired balance.
