How COVID-19 has worsened the lives of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients
Poor health outcomes and quarantines have accelerated the progress of motor and neurological dysfunction
Defective ribosomes leave proteins to build up in our cells
New research on fruit flies illustrates what happens when ribosomes go awry
Our memories of shared experiences have unique neural signatures
New neuroscience research shows why you do not remember an event the same way as other people who attended do
Tweaked version of failed Alzheimer's disease drug restores memory in mice
The preliminary results suggest the drug may stop — and reverse — some Alzheimer's disease
Scientists have mapped the "in-between neurons" of our brains
They make up a part of the brain called superficial white matter, which is difficult to see under a microscope
Disruption of “molecular glue” within our brain cells can lead to Alzheimer’s
Sticky proteins help the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria inside brain cells communicate with each other

The red maple is the only known natural source of compounds called ginnalins
Measuring how quickly proteins accumulate in the brain could help scientists identify people with Alzheimer's disease faster
Faster diagnosis means quicker treatment of this currently incurable disease
While you sleep, specialized neurons in your brain help you forget
Forgetting has long been considered a passive process in the brain, but new research puts that idea to bed
The mice most scientists use to study Alzheimer's aren't accurate
A new Nature study shows that human and mouse brains with Alzheimer’s disease look and function differently
A failed Alzheimer's drug stops cancer cells from shedding their coats and hiding from the immune system
A chance reading and a fortuitous overlap between Alzheimer's and multiple myeloma biology gave a failed drug new life
New research shows how protein aggregates destroy muscle cells
These findings have important implications for the treatment of myofibrillar myopathies, a set of diseases that affect the muscles
