by Doug Carlson, Florida State University Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research from the Florida State University College of Medicine found that changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease are often visible early on in individuals with personality traits associated with the condition. The study focused on two traits previously linked to the risk of...

Summary of the Leucadia Therapeutics Hypothesis and Evidence on the Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease
The Leucadia Therapeutics staff has been working for a few years now to prove the founder’s hypothesis on the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. In this view, the primary problem is impaired drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. As the drainage path through the cribriform plate is blocked by slow ossification of channels, metabolic waste builds up in...

Cell “Fingerprinting” Could Yield Long-Awaited Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnostic
New process combining infrared light and machine learning shows potential to break barriers in disease detection. Illustration by Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab A technology developed by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) shows great promise for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms arise, potentially changing the course of research and treatment for this condition, which affects millions of...

Research bolsters link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease
by University of Nevada, Las Vegas Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A team of UNLV neuroscientists has strengthened the link between Type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. In a study published in the September issue of the journal Communications Biology, researchers show that chronic hyperglycemia impairs working memory performance and alters fundamental aspects of working memory networks. “Diabetes is a...
