A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict ...

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.

Scientists using living human brain tissue have shown for the first time how a toxic form of a protein linked to Alzheimer's can stick to and damage the connections between brain cells. Small pieces ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.

New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of Alzheimer’s risk ...
