Neural networks responsible for spatial perception change in a nonlinear manner, study shows

Young children sometimes believe that the moon is following them, or that they can reach out and touch it. It appears to be much closer than is proportional to its true distance.

New project seeks to develop an online driver safety test for people with dementia

University of Queensland researchers are working with people living with dementia to develop an online driver safety test that can be performed by GPs in their surgeries.

Mediterranean diet may benefit health in part by incorporating moderate wine consumption

Many public health warnings have been issued against alcohol consumption, even in small quantities, though the evidence for such strict limits is controversial. The current study, published in the MDPI journal Nutrients, is a narrative review focused on clearing up some of the confusion associated with alcoholic drinks.

Salk scientists find a system-wide, molecular impact of time-restricted eating in mice

Numerous studies have shown health benefits of time-restricted eating including increase in life span in laboratory studies, making practices like intermittent fasting a hot topic in the wellness industry.

Salk scientists show how a microprotein can increase appetite in mice

Obesity and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, are extremely common in the United States. Tiny proteins called microproteins have long been overlooked in research, but new evidence demonstrates that they have an important role in metabolism.

Study supports association of the ε4 alleles and polygenic profiles with Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers

A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging (listed as "Aging (Albany NY)" by Medline/PubMed and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 14, Issue 24, entitled, "Associations of the APOE ε2 and ε4 alleles and polygenic profiles comprising APOE-TOMM40-APOC1 variants with Alzheimer's disease biomarkers."

Keeping hydrated can reduce aging and extend disease-free life

In a recent study published in the journal eBioMedicine, researchers assessed the association between hydration and aging.

Good hydration may slow down aging and prolong disease-free life

Adults who stay well-hydrated appear to be healthier, develop fewer chronic conditions, such as heart and lung disease, and live longer than those who may not get sufficient fluids, according to a National Institutes of Health study published in eBioMedicine.

New test detects biomarker of Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration in blood samples

A group of neuroscientists led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researcher developed a test to detect a novel marker of Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration in a blood sample. A study on their results was published today in Brain.

Targeting defective tau proteins may be needed to treat Alzheimer’s patients

In November, researchers reported the drug lecanemab slowed the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The effect was modest, but it has generated tremendous excitement because it was the first time a drug had been shown to be able to affect the course of this relentless, incurable disease.
