Dementia

Scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) tests more quickly and precisely, enabling neurologists to find early signs of dementia among data that typically go unexamined. Mayo Clinic scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) tests more quickly and precisely, enabling neurologists to

A new study explored early-onset dementia in the working-age population in Finland. A new major study by the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Oulu and Neurocenter Finland explored early-onset dementia in the working-age population in Finland. The study cohort was one of the largest in the world to date, and the findings were

People with high levels of body fat stored in their belly or arms may be more likely to develop diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's than people with low levels of fat in these areas, according to new research. The study also found that people with a high level of muscle strength were less likely to

Researchers have shown that a higher Brain Care Score is also associated with a lower risk of late-life depression. The findings provide further evidence of shared biological risk factors for stroke, dementia and depression and highlight the potential of the BCS to help patients make lifestyle changes to better care for their brain health. Late-life

Researchers have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that specifically impacts the brain's limbic system. It can often be mistaken for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that specifically impacts the brain's limbic system. It can often be mistaken for

Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study. Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study led by UCL

While previous studies suggested an association of the most common cerebral small-vessel disease with dementia risk, new research provides evidence of causal link, identifying it as a major vascular factor. Research led by in part by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) finds that the most common

Improve sleep quality in these individuals. This innovative approach offers hope for addressing a significant and challenging symptom of dementia, providing a non-pharmacological option for managing sleep disturbances. The study's findings highlight the potential of sound therapy as a valuable tool in improving the quality of life for those with cognitive decline

Well as the neurological diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) can be detected through a simple blood test. This groundbreaking discovery offers a non-invasive way to diagnose these debilitating conditions, potentially leading to earlier treatment and improved patient outcomes. With the potential to revolutionize the way these diseases are diagnosed, this study is a game-changer in the field of neurological research

Living at home. This revelation emphasizes the need for better guidance and alternative care approaches to ensure the well-being of older adults with advanced dementia. The study sheds light on a crucial issue in caregiving and calls for a reevaluation of current practices to provide more compassionate and effective care for this vulnerable population

Ocean waves. This new metric provides a non-invasive way to monitor brain health and could potentially lead to earlier detection and treatment of neurological conditions. Its innovative approach and potential impact make it a significant breakthrough in the field of neurology

Two years of aging. This groundbreaking research highlights the long-term impact of low birth weight on cognitive function and underscores the need for targeted interventions to support the cognitive health of individuals born with low birth weight. Understanding and addressing this correlation can lead to improved outcomes and quality of life for those affected
