Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

Study: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) may prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease may be one of the most fearsome health conditions common among the elderly. Imagine gradually losing your memory while your body weakens. But the risk of Alzheimer’s may be a thing of the past as pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a micronutrient in plants, has been found to have the ability to halt the progress […]

Gut microbes play a significant role in the central nervous system — digestive health is linked to your risk of neurodegenerative diseases
Right now, we are seeing neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s in unprecedented numbers – and these figures are only expected to rise in the future. In fact, the number of Alzheimer’s patients in the United States is expected to grow from 5 million today to 14 million by the year 2050, which is roughly […]

Seaweed prevents Parkinson’s disease, according to new study
Research has shown that certain seaweeds have the potential to prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, looked at the ability of antioxidant-rich seaweeds to protect brain cells from the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, also known as oxidopamine), a chemical used to simulate Parkinson’s disease. In the study, researchers from the Polytechnic […]

Living in a polluted city increases the risk for Alzheimer’s and suicide among children and young adults
Living in the big city isn’t all that it’s cut out to be – mainly because of pollution, which adversely affects the health of millions of people each year. However, according to Dr. Lilian Calderón-Garcidueñas of the University of Montana (UM), children and young adults living in these megacities are at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and […]

A protein found in fish could prevent Parkinson’s disease
It’s a fact that eating fish is good for the body. Most are packed with the fatty acids omega-3 and -6 which help in improving cognitive health, reducing heart risks, and lowering a person’s blood pressure. However, a new study has shown that a nutrient found in fish can be more beneficial than the common fatty acids […]

New research reveals biomarkers that affect future risk of dementia, including branched-chain amino acids and cholesterol
There are many different types of diseases that can occur later in life, and they are often difficult to predict. But as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, and it’s true even in cases like these. In the case of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, this is more true than most […]

Is treatment making it worse? DNA damage to brain cells can be caused by nanoparticles from medical treatments
Nanoparticles are seeing use in an increasingly large number of medical procedures and treatment methods. However, Irish researchers are concerned that their use might be doing far more harm than good. They report that metal nanoparticles could be damaging the DNA of developing brain cells like neurons, according to an article by NanoWerk. According to […]

Can caffeine protect you from Parkinson’s?
Caffeine levels in the blood could serve as an indicator of Parkinson’s disease, in particular in its early stages, as a study found that caffeine levels were significantly lower in individuals with neurodegenerative disorder. The study was conducted by a team of researchers from Juntendo University in Japan who aimed to develop clinical methods for early detection […]

Scientists sniff out new treatment for Alzheimer’s; new research suggests brain cells can be protected by stimulating the sense of smell
A study published in the journal Science Signaling has revealed that teaching roundworms to sniff out a certain type of bacterium has led them to develop a defense mechanism to preserve their brain cells. The findings show potential as a drug-free intervention against neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Huntington’s disease, the researchers have stated. The scientists […]
