How Magnetic Brain Stimulation May Reactivate Memory Circuits In Alzheimer’s

Scientists in Australia have discovered that a magnetic brain treatment already used for depression can boost the brain’s capacity to remodel its connections in mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease.

Alzheimer’s May Disrupt Nerve Insulation Without Reducing Myelin

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins at the critical interface between axons and their myelin sheath. Scientists found structural abnormalities in the paranode region, where myelin attaches to axons, including clogged nutrient channels and protein buildup that could block signal transmission.
