Estimation of lifetime risks of Alzheimer's disease dementia using biomarkers for preclinical disease">Estimation of lifetime risks of Alzheimer's disease dementia using biomarkers for preclinical disease
Lifetime risks are the probabilities of progressing to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia during one’s lifespan. Here, we report the first estimates of the lifetime and ten-year risks of AD dementia based on age, gender, and biomarker tests for preclinical disease. Read & Research Alzheimer’s More
Peripheral complement interactions with amyloid β peptide in Alzheimer's disease: Polymorphisms, structure, and function of complement receptor 1">Peripheral complement interactions with amyloid β peptide in Alzheimer's disease: Polymorphisms, structure, and function of complement receptor 1
Genome-wide association studies consistently show that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the complement receptor 1 (CR1) gene modestly but significantly alter Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk. Follow-up research has assumed that CR1 is expressed in the human brain despite a paucity of evidence for its function there. Alternatively, erythrocytes contain >80% Read & Research Alzheimer’s More

Recruitment, assessment, and longitudinal monitoring of participants for neuroscience studies and clinical trials limit the development of new treatments. Widespread Internet use allows data capture from participants in an unsupervised setting. The Brain Health Registry, a website and online registry, collects data from participants and their study partners. Read & Research Alzheimer’s More
Alzheimer's: Are changes in the brain's attention hub at fault?">Alzheimer's: Are changes in the brain's attention hub at fault?
As we grow older, we find it harder to stay focused, perhaps due to changes in the brain’s attention hub. Could this also drive the onset of Alzheimer’s? Read & Research Alzheimer’s More

Researchers have found a small molecule that can block the spread of the toxic protein tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s progression. Read & Research Alzheimer’s More
Fractal regulation and incident Alzheimer's disease in elderly individuals">Fractal regulation and incident Alzheimer's disease in elderly individuals
Healthy physiological systems exhibit fractal regulation (FR), generating similar fluctuation patterns in physiological outputs across different time scales. FR in motor activity is degraded in dementia, and the degradation correlates to cognitive decline. We tested whether degraded FR predicts Alzheimer’s disease dementia.
