Concordia Researchers Identify Key Marker Linking Coronary Artery Disease to Cognitive Decline
New findings connect heart disease and brain health through a measurable biomarker People with coronary artery disease (CAD) face higher risks of strokes, cognitive impairment, and dementia. A groundbreaking study from researchers at Concordia University identifies a specific biomarker that may explain the connection between CAD and cognitive decline. By focusing on a measurable biological…

Concordia Researchers Identify Key Marker Linking CAD to Cognitive Decline
New findings connect heart disease to brain health Researchers at Concordia University have identified a promising biomarker that helps explain why coronary artery disease (CAD) is often followed by cognitive challenges. The study, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, neurologists, and epidemiologists, analyzed blood markers, imaging data, and cognitive assessments from a diverse group…

Concordia researchers identify key marker linking coronary artery disease to cognitive decline
New insight into how heart health shapes brain function Concordia researchers have identified a potential biomarker that links coronary artery disease (CAD) to cognitive decline, offering a possible explanation for why some individuals with heart disease experience faster cognitive aging or dementia. While CAD has long been associated with strokes and vascular-related cognitive impairment, the…

Can Diet Calm Early Memory Problems? Anti-Inflammatory Mediterranean Eating Shows Promise
New Eating Pattern Linked to Slower Brain Aging Emerging research suggests that what you eat could matter as much as genetics when it comes to memory, particularly for older women at risk of early cognitive decline. A powerful anti-inflammatory twist on the traditional Mediterranean diet is showing striking protection against early memory problems, offering a…

Astrocyte-Driven Reversal of Alzheimer’s Cognitive Decline: Mouse Study Sparks Hope
Groundbreaking Astrocyte Findings Point to a Natural Brain Cleanup Mechanism A recent study from Baylor College of Medicine highlights a promising, naturally occurring brain process that helps clear amyloid plaques and maintain cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. The research focuses on astrocytes, star-shaped support cells in the brain, and how they can…

Astrocyte-Driven Approach Shows Promise in Reversing Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
New Insights into Alzheimer’s: Astrocytes as Key Players In a compelling advance from Baylor College of Medicine, researchers have identified an astrocyte-driven mechanism that not only clears existing amyloid plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease but also preserves cognitive function. The study highlights a natural, brain-intrinsic process that can potentially counteract one of the…

The Disturbing Connection Between Loneliness and Dementia
Understanding the Link Between Loneliness and Dementia As people age, physical frailty often becomes more obvious: slower movement, longer recovery from falls, and weakened muscles. But another, more subtle form of weakness can emerge—social frailty. When connections to friends, family, and community fade, older adults may experience loneliness that quietly threatens cognitive health. Growing evidence…

Early Heart Checks Could Signal Dementia Risk 25 Years Early
New evidence links heart biomarkers to future dementia risk A new study suggests that a simple blood test in midlife could forecast a person’s risk of developing dementia up to 25 years later. The key finding centers on troponin, a protein traditionally used to diagnose heart injury. In this study, higher midlife troponin levels were…

Study Identifies New Approach to Protect the Brain During Radiation Therapy
Overview: A New Strategy to Shield the Brain During Radiation Cancer survivors often face cognitive challenges after treatment. In brain cancer, cranial radiation therapy is a standard lifesaving intervention, but it can cause lasting problems with memory, attention, and executive function. A recent experimental study from the University of California, Irvine, led by Munjal Acharya,…
