New treatment reverses Alzheimer’s disease signs, improves memory function in preclinical study

by Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania PBA treatment reduces PERK activity and increases XBP1s in the hippocampus of APPNL-G-F knock-in (KI) mice. Confocal images of the hippocampus across groups. (A) BiP in the CA3. (B) p-PERK in the CA3. (C) ATF4 in the CA1. (D) XBP1s in the CA3. (E) ADAM10 in...

Natural killer cells also have a memory function

by Johannes Angerer,  Medical University of Vienna Good news for the human immune system: Researchers from MedUni Vienna’s Departments of Dermatology and Surgery have managed to ascribe an immunological memory function to a subset of cytotoxic NK cells, which have hitherto been regarded as antigen-non-specific. Under the leadership of Georg Stary, the researchers found that around...

Brain wave device enhances memory function

The entrainment of theta brain waves with a commercially available device not only enhances theta wave activity but also boosts memory performance. That’s according to new research from the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis, published recently in the journal Cognitive Neuroscience. Image: The device uses light and sounds to stimulate theta brain waves.  Credit: UC...
