 Some Types Of Temporary Neurological Problems Associated With Increased Risk For Stroke, Dementia December 28, 2007 - Patients who experience symptoms described as transient neurological attacks, such as temporary amnesia or confusion, may have a higher risk for stroke and dementia, according to a study in the December 26 issue of JAMA. Read More... Blood-brain Barrier: A Misunderstood Key To Finding Life-saving Cures To Brain DiseaseDecember 24, 2007 - An international team of scientists that includes a Saint Louis University researcher suggest several strategies to propel research for treatments of brain diseases that include multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, obesity and stroke in the January issue of the Lancet Neurology. Read More... Walking And Moderate Exercise Help Prevent Dementia December 21, 2007 - ST. PAUL, Minn. -- People age 65 and older who regularly walk and get other forms of moderate exercise appear to significantly lower their risk of developing vascular dementia, the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the December 19, 2007, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

The Roskamp Institute today announced that its promising new drug application for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease has received positive validation from an independent human clinical study conducted at the Tokyo Medical University in Japan. The study, which suggests the drug, Nilvadipine, can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease in patients with memory problems, is detailed in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, a highly prestigious medical research journal.

Drug Found to Create New Connections in Brain, Restoring and Improving Memory December 14, 2007 - Morgantown, W.Va. – Scientists at the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute (BRNI) have discovered that a cancer drug – Bryostatin – enhances the formation of new connections in rat brains during memory storage. This drug could potentially increase normal memory capacity in humans as well as repair and restore memory lost from Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and head trauma. Read More... New Survey Shows Confronting Alzheimer's Disease A Key Issue In 2008 Presidential Election December 12, 2007 - With less than a month until the presidential caucus and primary season officially begins, a poll released by the Alzheimer's Association indicates how the Presidential candidates plan to address the escalating Alzheimer epidemic could determine who Americans vote for in November. Read More... Cognitive 'Fog' Of Normal Aging Linked To Brain System Disruption December 10, 2007 - Comparisons of the brains of young and old people have revealed that normal aging may cause cognitive decline due to deterioration of the connections among large-scale brain systems. The researchers linked the deterioration to a decrease in the integrity of the brain's "white matter," the tissue containing nerve cells that carry information. The researchers found that the disruption occurred even in the absence of pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease. Read More... Sugary Beverages May Increase Alzheimer's Risk December 10, 2007 - Excess drinking of sugary beverages like soda may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, suggests new research in mice. Although the exact mechanisms aren’t known, obesity and diabetes are both associated with higher incidences of Alzheimer’s. Ling Li and her colleagues tested whether high sugar consumption in an otherwise normal diet would affect Alzheimer’s progression. Read More... Brain Systems Become Less Coordinated With Age, Even In The Absence Of Disease December 9, 2007 - Some brain systems become less coordinated with age even in the absence of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study from Harvard University. The results help to explain why advanced age is often accompanied by a loss of mental agility, even in an otherwise healthy individual. Read More... Chemists Characterize Alzheimer's Neurotoxin Structure December 7, 2007 - Amyloid plaques, the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, are clumps of fiber-like misfolded proteins which many experts think cause this devastating neurodegenerative disease.While effective treatment remains an elusive goal, new research by University of Illinois at Chicago chemists suggests a possible new approach.
