Analyzing data from over 1,000 patients globally, they found that 94% of PCA cases predict Alzheimer's, with the rest linked to conditions like Lewy body disease. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/early-alzheimers-vision-25510/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/evolution-genetics-ms-alzheimers-25506/ https://neurosciencenews.com/evolution-genetics-ms-alzheimers-25506/#comments Mon, 22 Jan 2024 15:11:00 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99607 Researchers have created a vast gene bank from nearly 5,000 ancient humans, offering unprecedented insights into the historical spread of genes and diseases. This groundbreaking study linked the spread of multiple sclerosis (MS) genes to ancient migrations and discovered that genes increasing the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's originated from hunter-gatherers. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/evolution-genetics-ms-alzheimers-25506/feed/ 1 https://neurosciencenews.com/blood-proteins-long-covid-25494/ https://neurosciencenews.com/blood-proteins-long-covid-25494/#respond Thu, 18 Jan 2024 22:09:15 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99558 A new study reveals significant findings in the fight against Long Covid. Through a comprehensive analysis of blood serum from 113 patients, researchers discovered changes in blood serum proteins related to the complement system, coagulation, and tissue injury in Long Covid patients. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/blood-proteins-long-covid-25494/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/multivitamins-cognitive-aging-25484/ https://neurosciencenews.com/multivitamins-cognitive-aging-25484/#respond Thu, 18 Jan 2024 15:42:42 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99525 A new study suggests that daily multivitamin supplements may help slow cognitive aging and memory loss in older adults. The study found statistically significant benefits of multivitamins for memory and global cognition, indicating a potential delay in cognitive aging by about two years compared to placebo. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/multivitamins-cognitive-aging-25484/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/srna-alzheimers-25481/ https://neurosciencenews.com/srna-alzheimers-25481/#respond Thu, 18 Jan 2024 14:29:57 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99513 A new study suggests that RNA interference plays a crucial role in the disease.

The research shows that these neurons enter a state of senescence, ceasing to function and causing inflammation. This discovery was unexpected, as the study initially aimed to understand how different cell types respond to the virus, but found this unique pathway only in dopamine neurons.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/dopamine-covid-25475/feed/ 2 https://neurosciencenews.com/tbi-amnesia-reversed-25464/ https://neurosciencenews.com/tbi-amnesia-reversed-25464/#respond Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:33:29 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99446 Researchers made a breakthrough in understanding memory loss due to repeated head impacts, as often experienced by athletes.
