Moving more in older age may help sharpen your memory

Older adults who move more, either with daily exercise or even simple routine physical activity like housework, may preserve more of their memory and...

This memory test could detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier

It is difficult to detect early, even though changes in the brain related to the disease may begin to happen years or even decades...

Reduced deep sleep may be early sign of Alzheimer’s disease

In a new study, researchers found that older people who have less slow-wave sleep – the deep sleep you need to consolidate memories and...

AI could detect Alzheimer’s disease 6 years before a diagnosis

In a new study, researchers used a common type of brain scan and a machine-learning algorithm to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's disease about six years...

Possible clue to predict Alzheimer’s disease

New research suggests that periodic evaluation of changing amyloid levels in certain brain structures may offer an important clue to predict Alzheimer's disease. The study...
