Inability to Detect Sarcasm May Herald Dementia - FoxNews.com

Inability to Detect Sarcasm May Herald Dementia - FoxNews.com: "People in the early stages of dementia may not be able to tell the truth from lies and sarcasm from sincerity, a new study finds.
The findings could help doctors diagnose dementia, such as Alzheimer's, earlier, study researchers said."

The Associated Press: New guidelines define pre-Alzheimer's disease

The Associated Press: New guidelines define pre-Alzheimer's disease: "The first new guidelines for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in nearly 30 years establish earlier stages of the mind-robbing disease, paving the way for spotting and possibly treating these conditions much sooner than they are now."

Five New Alzheimer’s Genes Double Total as Doctors Unravel Disease Cause - Bloomberg

Five New Alzheimer’s Genes Double Total as Doctors Unravel Disease Cause - Bloomberg: "Five new genes have been definitively linked to Alzheimer’s disease, doubling the total confirmed by scientists and opening new areas for research into an illness that affects 35 million people globally. The genetic pathways were reported in two studies involving more than 50,000 people worldwide. Some of the connections found involve systems that control inflammation and cholesterol in the brain, while others affect how brain cells remove toxic proteins, the researchers wrote in reports published yesterday in the journal Nature Genetics."

Liver, not brain, a source of Alzheimer's - The Times of India

Liver, not brain, a source of Alzheimer's - The Times of India: "A new study has suggested that the plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease start in the liver and not in the brain—completely altering scientists' ideas about the disease.

The unexpected results could now potentially simplify the nature of Alzheimer's prevention and treatment strategies."

Quick blood test to detect Alzheimer's disease - The Times of India

Quick blood test to detect Alzheimer's disease - The Times of India: "Scientists are developing a quick and simple blood test for early detection of Alzheimer's disease.

The test could open the way to developing drugs, which could halt the disease in its tracks.

It could also be modified to detect illnesses ranging from multiple sclerosis to Parkinson's to cancer, say scientists at Scripps Research Institute in the US, the journal Cell reports."

Craegmoor: "Scientists have identified hundreds of proteins crucial to brain health which could help in the treatment of conditions from Alzheimer's to autism.

The experts discovered that faults in the brain proteins cause 130 conditions, the Daily Mail reported.

As a result of the discovery, the development of new drugs for degenerative and psychiatric illnesses could be speeded up.

'There is a potential gold rush, a whole new frontier for drug discovery,' professor Seth Grant, a neuroscientist at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, near Cambridge, said."

Insights Give Hope for New Attack on Alzheimer’s - NYTimes.com

Insights Give Hope for New Attack on Alzheimer’s - NYTimes.com: "It is a normal protein. Everyone’s brain makes it. But the problem in Alzheimer’s is that it starts to accumulate into balls — plaques. The first sign the disease is developing — before there are any symptoms — is a buildup of amyloid. And for years, it seemed, the problem in Alzheimer’s was that brain cells were making too much of it.
But now, a surprising new study has found that that view appears to be wrong. It turns out that most people with Alzheimer’s seem to make perfectly normal amounts of amyloid. They just can’t get rid of it. It’s like an overflowing sink caused by a clogged drain instead of a faucet that does not turn off."
