Alzheimer's Association plans trivia night to raise funds for Jacksonville walk

A trivia night is being planned to help raise funds for Jacksonville's Walk to End Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's linked to lesser known 'third' type of diabetes

Diabetes is a common, lifelong condition that occurs when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, or when the body is unable to effectively use the insulin it produces

'I'm a neuroscientist - the earliest warning signs of Alzheimer's surprise most patients'

Alzheimer's disease continues to be the most common form of dementia, affecting 50 million people worldwide.With no cure currently available, an early diagnosis offers the best opportunity to improve the quality of life for those affected by the condition.Since memory loss is one of the more obvious signs of the disease, some patients may wait until severe lapses occur before seeing a doctor - by then, it could be too late.To help patients spot …

Researchers suggest a 'unifying explanation' for brain changes observed in Alzheimer's that would begin with failures in the cell's communication system Scientists from the Center for Research on Neurodegenerative Diseases at Arizona State University, in the United States, published a study in the scientific journal Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association in which they propose a new theory for the initial cause of Alzh…

Neuroscientists crack the code of how we make decisions with new mathematical framework

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how brain circuits go awry in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's, and could help artificial brains, like Alexa or self-driving car technology, more helpful.

Radical Study Proposes a Single Cause to Explain Alzheimer's Disease

A new model of Alzheimer's disease has been proposed, which could speed up efforts to understand and cure the complex condition – while bringing all manifestations of the condition under one unifying theory.
