Blood tests for Alzheimer's disease aim to help doctors diagnose the condition more quickly and accurately but are mostly used in controlled research settings. A new Swedish study shows their reliability in real-world healthcare settings as well. The study of more than 1,200 patients experiencing mild memory symptoms found that a blood test for Alzheimer's had 90 per cent reliability in primary care. Alzheimer's can be cumbersome to diagnose, requiring a hard-to-get brain scan or an uncomfortable spinal tap. Many patients are diagnosed based on symptoms and cognitive exams. In the Swedish stud...

Researchers have developed a nasal spray that could become a breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and other potential neurodegenerative disorders. The new treatment would target the harmful build-up of proteins in the brain. The spray works by targeting the accumulation of tau proteins, which in a healthy brain keep the cell's internal support structure stable and help transport molecules and nutrients inside nerve cells, keeping them alive. Eating meat and processed foods daily linked to Alzheimer's diseaseIn neurodegenerative disorders, chemical changes in the brain cause tau prote...

A study of memory clinic patients in Sweden found that individuals with higher cognitive reserve tend to have better cognitive functioning. However, physiological stress, indicated by levels of the hormone cortisol, weakened this association. The research was published in the Alzheimer’s & Dementia. Cognitive reserve refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and find alternative ways to complete tasks despite damage or aging. This concept suggests that individuals with a higher cognitive reserve can better cope with neurological challenges due to a more robust and adaptable neural network. Factor...

Some people seem to be more resilient to developing Alzheimer’s diseases, despite having the biological hallmarks of the devastating disease. For obvious reasons, scientists are very interested in studying this special group of people. Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is thought to start because of a build-up of two proteins in the brain: amyloid and tau. Once these proteins accumulate, for yet-to-be-determined reasons, they become toxic to brain cells (neurons) and these cells start dying. As a result, people develop symptoms such as memory loss because the brain can’t f...

Researchers at Boston University have created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of predicting whether a person with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer’s disease within six years, based solely on their speech. This model has shown an impressive accuracy rate of 78.5%, offering a non-invasive, accessible method for early diagnosis. The findings have been published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and typically progresses through a long phase where only subtle cognitive changes are apparent. Peo...
