New MIT research uncovers a surprising link between sleep deprivation and attention lapses. The brain releases cerebrospinal fluid to cleanse itself, but it comes at a cost: impaired alertness and slower reaction times.
Have you ever zoned out during a meeting? Scientists reveal that these mental shutdowns are linked to waves of fluid in the brain, shedding light on the dangers of sleep deprivation. Learn how your brain's maintenance mode could be putting you at risk!
In a groundbreaking move, the Alzheimer’s Association recommends blood tests for diagnosing cognitive impairment, potentially increasing access to treatment. This could revolutionize how Alzheimer's is diagnosed, especially in rural areas.
A groundbreaking technique from the University of Glasgow enables non-invasive brain imaging by shining light through the head, promising deeper insights into brain health and conditions like strokes and tumors.
A new NIH-funded study reveals crucial protein changes in spinal fluid that may provide the first specific biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia (FTD), paving the way for earlier diagnosis and treatment options.
A new blood test developed by neuroscientists can reveal whether Alzheimer's is affecting a patient's memory, providing crucial insights for early diagnosis and treatment. This innovation could transform how we understand and address Alzheimer's disease.
