Rather, the blurred vision is caused by the changes posterior cortical atrophy creates in the brain itself. To help make life ...

Alzheimer’s disease is most often linked with memory loss. But for some people, the first signs are not memory problems at ...

"Particularly notable was the insula, a key brain region for integrating sensory ... genetic loci associated with this ...

Normal structural and functional development of the cerebral cortex and its connectivity are critically dependent on appropriate neuroaxonal activation. In the normal mature brain, numerous neural ...

Differences in the distribution of certain proteins and markers in the brain may explain why some people first experience vision changes instead of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease, finds a new ...

Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease begin with memory problems. A rare form called posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) affects vision first, making it hard for people to read, navigate, or recognize ...

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a rare form of ... researchers studied brain tissues from 26 people with PCA and 27 people with typical Alzheimer's disease who had donated their brains for ...

Disrupted SWS (critical for waste clearance) and REM sleep (key for memory) may impair the glymphatic system, hindering the ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine explores the association between sleep architecture and brain atrophy in regions vulnerable to | Neuroscience ...
