Summary: A decade-long investigation has revealed that natural lithium in the brain helps shield against Alzheimer’s disease by maintaining healthy function across all major brain cell types. Researchers found that lithium loss is one of the earliest brain changes in Alzheimer’s, often occurring before noticeable symptoms. In mouse models, lithium depletion triggered hallmark features of the disease, while treatment with …

We’re still not sure exactly what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but we know what its effects look like, and we’re getting better at detecting the early signs of it – including, perhaps, those in our speech. Scientists from Boston University have developed a new AI ( artificial intelligence) algorithm that analyzes the speech patterns of those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). …

A study published in 2022 found a tenuous but plausible link between picking your nose and an increased risk of developing dementia. In cases where picking at your nose causes internal tissue damage, critical species of bacteria have a clearer path to the brain, which responds to their presence in ways that resemble signs of Alzheimer’s disease. There are numerous …
