Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

Alzheimer’s memory loss may be linked to disrupted brain activity during rest, when recent experiences are usually replayed and saved.

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

Learn how the brain’s replay system helps us consolidate memories — and what goes wrong when Alzheimer’s disease interferes ...

Johns Hopkins scientists reveal that “inactive” GluD brain proteins regulate neuronal communication and open up new ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...
