Scientists have created a blood test that can estimate when Alzheimer’s symptoms are likely to begin. By measuring a protein called p-tau217, the model predicts symptom onset within roughly three to ...

A recent study has found that there may be a link between artificial sweenters and dementia.

A long-term study of older adults with moderate hearing loss found that hearing aids did not lead to better performance on memory or thinking tests, but the story did not end there. Over seven years, ...

Scientists have developed a blood test that could predict Alzheimer's symptoms years in advance using p-tau217 protein levels ...

It has the potential to predict symptom onset so accurately "we could use it in individual clinical care,” said one ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A simple handgrip test may reveal more than muscle power in very old adults, offering insight into how ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

The Alzheimer’s ‘clock’ could make it easier to treat the disease early, before memory problems appear. A simple blood test might one day serve as a molecular ‘clock’ that predicts not only whether ...

The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules. New research shows activation of these modules overlaps.

Scientists have reversed severe memory loss in two mouse models of Alzheimer’s by restoring the brain’s energy supply. Late-stage mice showed brain tissue repairing itself once fuel balance returned, ...

Researchers identify the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR) as the biological link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, offering a potential new biomarker for dementia risk.
