A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

Levels of iron in the brain could be a warning sign of future Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. High levels of the chemical element have been shown to increase brain toxins and trigger ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy. Their research, published in the ...

An analysis of Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project study data found that a high-fat diet was associated with a faster ...

A study headed by Johns Hopkins University researchers has shown how an MRI technique that detects iron levels in different regions of the brain can predict the onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI ...

—While MRI can detect abnormal atrophy during preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, atrophy assessment should be tailored to the targeted disease stage and intended use. Structural magnetic resonance ...

For patients with mild Parkinson disease (PD), the structural and functional architecture of the brain connectome is associated with progression of gray matter (GM) atrophy, according to a study ...

New MRI research reveals that heavy smoking can shrink key brain regions tied to memory and cognition, and excess weight might intensify the damage, raising fresh questions about dementia prevention.

Tracking changes in eye movement could soon allow early detection of mild cognitive impairment, the pre-dementia stage that precedes Alzheimer's disease. A ...
