Mice VR Headsets Revolutionise Brain Activity Studies and Behavioural Research
Mice are now being equipped with specially designed virtual reality headsets, allowing researchers to study brain activity in immersive environments. Developed using affordable components, the "MouseGoggles" enable scientists to observe the mice's neural responses as they interact with virtual environments. The study opens new doors for understandi...

Brain Injuries May Raise the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, Say Researchers
Recent findings from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center suggest that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may significantly increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study highlights the role of the BAG3 protein in clearing harmful proteins from the brain. Enhancing BAG3 could potentially mitigate the cognitive decline assoc...

Alzheimer's Can Be Transmitted Between Humans In Rare Medical Procedures, Study Finds
Alzheimer's can be spread between humans through rare medical accidents, research has found, although experts stress that there is no evidence the disease can be spread from human to human through everyday activities or routine care.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

Fitness Trackers, Smartwatches May Soon Be Able to Alert About Dementia
In a new study, researchers found substantial variations in the movement pattern of those with mild impairment or Alzheimer's disease when compared to people with normal cognition. This included variation in activity during waking hours and more fragmented activity during afternoons in participants with Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's Research Uncovers Role of Tau Protein in Disease Development, Could Provide New Treatment Target
Researchers have uncovered the role of a protein called tau, which is a critical factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A study by Flinders University provides hope for preventing the tau transformation process from happening, so that there is no toxic effect on brain cells. The research also provides a new mechanism to explain how the...
