A person's sleep pattern may forecast when will Alzheimer's disease begin

Their findings show that the study participants who started out experiencing more fragmented sleep and less non-rapid eye movement slow-wave sleep were most likely to show an increase in beta-amyloid growth Although all participants remained healthy throughout the study period, the trajectory of their beta-amyloid growth correlated with baseline sleep quality The researchers were able to forecast the increase in beta-amyloid plaques, which are thought to mark the beginning of Alzheimer`s

How renegade protein interrupts brain cell function in Alzheimer's revealed

An estimated 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer`s, a progressive disease that affects mostly those over 65 and interferes with memory, language, and decision making Currently, there are no effective treatments or prevention strategies for Alzheimer`s. Experts have long linked it to a buildup of extra phosphate molecules on tau proteins The new study, publishing online in the journal Brain, provides what Drummond and her colleagues say is the largest overview to date of proteins present in these tau tangles

Neuroscientists examine the way brain regions function independently

The latest research from his lab, published in Neuron, could eventually help us determine which abilities are particularly difficult to recover after a traumatic brain injury -- likely because these skills are represented in only one area of the brain -- and which are more resilient.

Here`s how our brain processes emotions

Some mental illnesses may stem, in part, from the brain's inability to correctly assign emotional associations to events. For example, people who are depressed often do not feel happy even when experiencing something that they normally enjoy.

Our `noisy` brain won't let practice make perfect

A team of neuroscientists has discovered that "noise" in our brain causes us to make mistakes, suggesting that practice will never make perfect.
