THE odd midlife memory lapse is a very normal part of the ageing process. A new US study has found there’s one distinct peak when cognitive decline is more evident in all of us. That age, ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough in identifying a way for Alzheimer's disease to be treated ...

Researchers have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to protein buildup, a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease, an incurable, ...

The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) helps to form links between the brain’s neurons. It has been highly studied because its ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new tool to map different types of cells throughout the brain. Using this technique, ...
