A recent study shows that accessible blood tests can accurately identify Alzheimer’s disease. When combined with standard cognitive assessments, these tools offer a reliable diagnostic approach for ...

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 ...

It’s all in the eyes. They say that eyes are a window into your soul — but research shows they might also serve as an early window into cognitive decline. A study published in Neurology suggests a ...

Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect memory problems years before Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed. Unlike ...

Elevated cardiac troponin I levels during midlife — indicative of subclinical myocardial injury — were associated with a higher risk for dementia, faster cognitive decline, and greater brain atrophy ...

A simple handgrip test may reveal more than muscle power in very old adults, offering insight into how physical strength aligns with brain activation in regions that support working memory. Study: The ...

Do you know your friends’ mobile numbers by heart? Or struggle to remember what you had for dinner last night? How well our memory works might be determined by a complex combination of genes, ...

Why should I get a memory test? As we age, our brains undergo both anatomical and chemical changes. Shrinkage begins in our 30s and 40s, with the prefrontal cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus ...

Over the last decades, research has proven that aging isn’t just about our years in birthdays. Instead, we may be better served by knowing how organs and cells have handled those years. This powerful ...
