Early Research on Stress and Social Disadvantage as Potential Risk Factors (BBC News / AAIC)
Summary Early research findings presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London suggest that stressful life events, and more generally the chronic stress of enduring social deprivation life-long, may age the brain. The researchers claim that extremely stressful experiences … Continue reading

Patterns in the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease? (NHS Choices / Science Advances)
Summary Patterns of gene activity (gene expression) in specific areas of the brain may help explain why Alzheimer’s Disease tends to start in certain regions before spreading further through the brain. “ …those regions of the brain in which tissues … Continue reading

More on Inflammation, the Immune System and Neurodegenerative Diseases (NHS Choices / Frontiers in Neuroscience / BBC News)
Summary A review article was published last month, covering evidence suggesting that the body’s innate immune system may be involved in neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, associated with a cascade of progressive damage to brain cells. Further … Continue reading
