Heavy Drinkers Face Higher Risk of Brain Lesions And Alzheimer's Markers

Alcohol is notoriously bad for health, and a recent study might add "long-term effects on brain health" to the growing list of ways drinking can cause harm.

Surprising find: Alzheimer's biomarker found in newborn brains

Newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer's disease share an unexpected biological trait: elevated levels of a well-known biomarker for Alzheimer's. This is shown in a study led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg.

Why newborns and Alzheimer’s patients share a key brain marker

In a surprising new discovery, scientists have found that newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer’s disease both have high levels of a protein long linked to brain degeneration—yet in babies, it appears to support healthy brain growth. The study, led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg and published in Brain Communications, reveals how the same […] The post Why newborns and Alzheimer’s patients share a key brain marker appeared fir…
