Emerging research suggests that infections from viruses like herpes (e.g., shingles) and SARS-CoV-2 may increase the risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
This is believed to be neuroscience’s final frontier. Tiny bubbles will open the blood-brain barrier to sneak drugs into tumours – and we might treat Alzheimer's the same way, reports New Scientist.
Australian researchers have come up with a non-invasive ultrasound technology that clears the brain of neurotoxic amyloid plaques - structures responsible for memory loss and a decline in cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients, reports sceincealert.com.
