Sunscreen implicated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
Posted on 2009-08-27 00:45:23 in Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Longevity and Age Management | Parkinsons Disease |
A worldwide project called NeuroNano seeks to explore the role of human-engineered nanoparticles found in sunscreen and in an additive in some diesel fuels, investigating their connection to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Continue reading…
Preventive approach to Alzheimer's disease
Posted on 2009-08-23 22:43:38 in Alzheimer's Disease | Immune System | Longevity and Age Management |
A study from University of California in Los Angeles used immune cells to help identify a suspected indicator of Alzheimer's disease. By testing the ability of immune cells in the blood to absorb the peptide amyloid beta, researchers moved toward developing a blood test which can gauge a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Brain exercises may delay memory loss
Posted on 2009-08-22 10:56:09 in Aging | Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Longevity and Age Management |
Leisure activities that exercise the brain may delay the rapid memory decline that occurs with the development of dementia in late life. Reading, writing, doing crossword puzzles, playing board or card games, having group discussions, and playing music might help maintain brain vitality and delay memory loss. Continue reading…
Findings that IVIg therapy may help lower risk of Alzheimer's prompts clinical trial
Posted on 2009-08-05 13:23:51 in Aging | Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Immune System | Longevity and Age Management | Mental Health | Neurology |
Researchers believe that adding "good" antibodies to the blood stream -- called intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy -- may help lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other similar brain disorders. A large-scale clinical trial is now underway to determine whether IVIg may be an effective treatment. Continue reading…
Highly developed language skills at a younger age can reduce risk of Alzheimer's, finds new study
Posted on 2009-07-14 10:48:04 in Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Longevity and Age Management |
A new study has found that the brains of nuns with Alzheimer's who remained intellectually alert to their final days had just as many of the hallmark brain tangles that lead to dementia as their intellectually inferior peers. The results have led Johns Hopkins University researchers to surmise that having highly developed language skills may be the key to reducing one's risk for developing the disease later on in life.

Caffeine ingestion may help reverse symptoms associated with Alzheimer's
Posted on 2009-07-07 12:12:28 in Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Dietary Supplementation | Longevity and Age Management |

A study involving mice has found that drinking approximately five cups of regular coffee a day can help reverse memory impairment issues in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

High resolution X-ray imaging may help detect early stage Alzheimer's
Posted on 2009-06-24 09:28:34 in Alzheimer's Disease | Biotechnology | Imaging Techniques | Longevity and Age Management |
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed an X-ray machine with the high quality resolution needed to track dense areas of protein that form in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The imaging technique may enable doctors to be able to identify the disease before it progresses. Continue reading…
A weekly diet of curry may help prevent dementia
Posted on 2009-06-15 10:08:08 in Alzheimer's Disease | Functional Foods | Longevity and Age Management |
A key ingredient in curry, curcumin, appears to prevent the spread of amyloid plaques, which are believed to cause dementia, finds researchers from Duke University of North Carolina. Continue reading…
Clue into why primates do not develop Alzheimer's found
Posted on 2009-05-27 10:32:47 in Aging | Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Longevity and Age Management |
Researchers from Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Atlanta's Emory University have discovered that there are structural differences in plaque that builds up in the brains of humans and primates, helping them better understand why Alzheimer's disease does not affect primates.

VIDEO: Brain Age Workshop
Dr. Eric Braverman, Director of The Place for Achieving Total Health (PATH Medical), Chairs the Brain Age Workshop taking place Dec. 9, 2009. Held in conjunction with the Winter Session of the 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies. The Brain Age Workshop features presentations on Brain Mind Assessment via Neuropsychological Analysis, Movement Deficiency Syndrome, Hormones and the Brain, Nootropic Drug Mechanisms, and Traumatic Brain Injury. View this video to learn about Dr. Braverman’s brain-based model of aging and age modulation.
