Researchers are finding that Aβ and tau revolve more closely around each other than they had thought...
Despite recent setbacks on the clinical front, the hunt for small molecules that can cleanly tweak γ-secretase to slow AD seems to be alive and well...
A steady trickle of studies is building the case for mismanaged neuronal calcium as a trigger of synaptic troubles that contribute to Alzheimer disease...
In motor neuron disease, evidence is mounting that RNA processing lies at the heart of molecular pathogenesis...

Enhancing synaptic function might be a promising strategy to treat or prevent AD...
A paper reports the discovery of a γ-secretase activating protein (GSAP) that acts specifically to promote the binding of γ-secretase to APP, but not to Notch...
Researchers report that covalently constraining Aβ monomers into a specific β-hairpin structure accelerates formation of toxic oligomers...

Non-pharmacologic approaches, such as one reported in this week’s JAMA, may yet offer the best hope for finding peace amid mental decline...
To release neurotransmitters, nerve terminals must repeatedly break down and rebuild specialized protein complexes, and the fidelity of this process may rely on α-synuclein...
Researchers have mediated a merger of sorts between two distinct neurodegenerative conditions—ALS and (SCA)—and the proteins that cause them...
Having diabetes seems to drive up risk for dementia, including Alzheimer disease, but the jury has been out as to how this occurs...
The majority of patients with Parkinson disease eventually develop dementia, but what pathology underlies this decline?...
