This common chemical may increase risk of Parkinson’s disease

Scientists from the University of Rochester and other institutions have found new evidence that a common industrial chemical, trichloroethylene (TCE), may be linked to Parkinson’s...

Brain trauma may trigger Alzheimer’s-linked changes in blood vessels

A new study from Lund University suggests that traumatic brain injury (TBI) may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease by altering small blood vessels in the...

Heart disease may cause early brain dysfunction and increase Alzheimer’s risk

New research has found that heart disease can directly cause brain dysfunction, potentially leading to dementia even before visible damage appears in the brain’s...

Lack of this nutrient may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Choline is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in overall health. While the liver produces small amounts of it, most of the...

Reducing bioenergetic age may help lower Alzheimer’s risk

Scientists have discovered that how well a person’s cells generate energy—what they call “bioenergetic age”—could be a strong predictor of their risk for Alzheimer’s...

Poor sleep may harm brain health, study finds
