	Small increases in daily steps may slow Alzheimer’s progression Increasing your steps by even a little bit may help slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease among people at heightened risk, according to a new study.

	Study links short-term blood pressure variability to Alzheimer's-related brain loss Even when blood pressure is well controlled, older adults whose blood pressure fluctuates widely from one heartbeat to the next may be at greater risk for brain shrinkage and nerve cell injury, according to a new study led by the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.

			Study finds more commonalities between CTE and Alzheimer's disease at the genetic level Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – most often found in athletes playing contact sports – is known to share similarities with Alzheimer's disease (AD), namely the buildup of a protein called tau in the brain.

			Researchers reveal common synaptic pathway behind Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide.

			Study uncovers neural mechanisms behind memory stabilization Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers.

	Study sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease may contribute to larger health issues A recent study from Houston Methodist sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease may contribute to larger health issues by hijacking the body's ability to regulate its metabolism.

	Free radicals generated at a specific site in astrocytes may promote dementia Researchers have discovered that free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes, may promote dementia, according to a Weill Cornell Medicine study.

	Survival patterns differ across types of early-onset dementia The survival rates of people with early onset dementia-diagnosed before the age of 65-vary considerably by clinical type, but sex, age, family history and co-existing conditions aren't specific risk factors, finds research published online in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.

	Researchers discover why living in a deprived neighborhood may raise dementia risk Cambridge researchers have discovered why living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood may be linked to an increase in an individual's risk of dementia.

	Newly identified microglia subtype offers protection against Alzheimer’s disease In Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia, microglia-the brain's immune defenders-can act as both protectors and aggressors, shaping how the disease progresses.

	Fruit fly study reveals new details on Alzheimer's risk genes Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these genes play in the brain are poorly understood.
