Late Onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD)
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease. It is characterized by the development of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the loss of connections between nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain, and the death of these nerve cells. Show More Summary
PET finds increased cognitive reserve levels in highly educated pre-Alzheimer's patients
Highly educated individuals with mild cognitive impairment that later progressed to Alzheimer's disease cope better with the disease than individuals with a lower level of education in the same situation, according to a new study. In...Show More Summary
Any Light at the End of the Tunnel for Alzheimer's Disease?
Few diseases have frustrated researchers like Alzheimer's disease. First identified in 1906, the disease still has no cure and strikingly little real progress in helping patients. Is there any hope for light at the end of this long, dark tunnel? Dead endsThe history of dead ends in Alzheimer's research isn't encouraging. Show More Summary

New Findings On The Brain's Immune Cells During Alzheimer's Disease Progression
The plaque deposits in the brain of Alzheimer's patients are surrounded by the brain's own immune cells, the microglia. This was already recognized by Alois Alzheimer more than one hundred years ago. But until today it still remains unclear what role microglia play in Alzheimer's disease. Show More Summary
New findings on the brain's immune cells during Alzheimer's disease progression
The plaque deposits in the brain of Alzheimer's patients are surrounded by the brain's own immune cells, the microglia. But it still remains unclear what role microglia play in Alzheimer's disease. Do they help break down the plaque deposit?
