Can an implantable neural device stimulate brain cells to help restore memory? Find out why the U.S. Department of Defense is betting millions that it
New research shows that the Alzheimer’s drug memantine (Namenda™) may treat Huntington’s dementia. It seems to improve motor learning and coordination, as well as keep cells alive. It appears to work in a way that could also benefit dementia in traumatic brain injury and some forms of stroke. Can memantine offer a multi-type dementia breakthrough?
A fascinating study in Europe finds that individuals who felt they had memory problems did in fact have measurable cognitive deficits. Scientists analyzed the spinal fluid to measure the levels of biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s.
A diet that combines unsaturated fats with nitrite-rich vegetables, such as olive oil and lettuce, can protect you from hypertension and vascular dementia.
Most of the time, it takes a combination of genetics, bad environment and unhealthy lifestyle to trigger Alzheimer’s. However, one gene called apolipoprotein E (APOE) can make a big difference.
Don’t put that controller down just yet. Playing three-dimensional video games – besides being lots of fun – can boost the formation of memories, according to University of California neurobiologists.
