For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been described as a one‑way street, a slow erosion of memory that could at best be delayed, not undone. A wave of animal studies is now challenging that assumption ...

A team of scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Southern California (USC) have demonstrated the first successful use of a neural prosthetic device to recall ...

In a new study, a molecule identified and synthesized by UCLA Health researchers was shown to restore cognifitive functions in mice with Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. The compound effectively ...

A paradigm-shifting study shows an experimental drug, GL-II-73, has the potential to restore memory and cognitive function in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. The study demonstrates that the drug ...

Scientists zeroed in on a lesser-known part of the brain that helps control both sleep cycles and memory. New research from the National University of Singapore suggests caffeine may help protect ...

In a study, published in the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a molecule identified and synthesized by UCLA Health researchers was shown to restore cognitive functions in ...

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), recently announced that it is seeking proposals related to memory-restoring brain implants. In particular, ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer's disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...
