A drug prescribed for Alzheimer's disease does not ease clinically significant agitation in patients, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the U.K., U.S. and Norway. This is the first randomized controlled trial designed to assess the effectiveness of the drug (generic name memantine) for significant agitation in Alzheimer's patie ...

A highly toxic beta-amyloid - a protein that exists in the brains of Alzheimer's disease victims - has been found to greatly increase the toxicity of other more common and less toxic beta-amyloids, serving as a possible "trigger" for the advent and development of Alzheimer's, researchers at the University of Virginia and German biotech company Prob ...

6-Shogaol, a ginger constituent, modulates neuroinflammation and could protect the brain. Ha et al, writing in the Journal of Neuropharmacology (Mar 23, 2012) studied processes deleterious to neurons, which can result in neurodegeneration. Inhibition of certain mechanisms, like microglial activation, could be a useful strategy in searching for neur ...

A study published online in The Laryngoscope reveals that current studies do not support the use of olfactory identification tests (smell tests) for predicting Alzheimer's dementia. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that causes loss of brain function and is the most common cause of dementia. The disease is expected to double every 20 years throu ...
