The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Imagine trying to catch a train. If you wait until the train is already at the station, it’s too late! The same goes for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Most diagnoses happen when the disease is already advanced, missing the ideal window for treatment. That’s where mild cognitive impairment (MCI) comes in. It’s like a middle ground […]
Just like how a sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, cromolyn has been found to prevent cerebral vasospasm and the resulting dementia in older individuals. This groundbreaking study investigated the genetic mechanisms behind dementia caused by cerebral vasospasm and identified potential drugs that could help prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases. By analyzing genes […]
Imagine the process of cleaning up a messy room. Now picture this scenario on a microscopic scale, where tiny proteins called α-synuclein accumulate and cause havoc in the brain cells of individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers have proposed a mathematical model to understand how these aggregated α-synuclein proteins are degraded by a cellular pathway […]
