Cannabidiol Shows Promise in Reducing Alzheimer’s-Related Neuroinflammation in Mouse Model
Overview: CBD as a potential anti-inflammatory strategy for Alzheimer’s disease Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a central driver of neuronal damage in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While the classic hallmarks of AD—amyloid plaques and tau tangles—have guided much research, chronic immune activation within the brain also accelerates cognitive decline. A new study in eNeuro by Babak…

CBD and Alzheimer’s: Combatting Neuroinflammation in Mice
Understanding the link between neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a pivotal driver of neuronal damage in Alzheimer’s disease. While much attention has centered on amyloid plaques and tau tangles, chronic immune activation within the brain—often driven by microglia and other glial cells—can accelerate neurodegeneration. A growing body of work suggests that modulating…

New findings tie Long COVID brain fog to AMPA receptor changes
Overview: Long COVID brain fog and a search for molecular clues Long COVID has emerged as one of the most persistent health challenges of the post-pandemic era. Among its most troubling consequences is cognitive impairment, commonly referred to as “brain fog,” which disrupts memory, attention, and problem-solving for many patients. While neuroimaging has revealed structural…

Gut Microbiome: A New Hope Against Alzheimer’s Disease
The gut microbiome and brain health: what the latest studies show New research is redefining how we view dementia risk. The trillions of microbes living in our gut are not just passive passengers; they actively influence immune function, inflammation, and even brain health. In particular, a disrupted gut microbiome has been linked to an elevated…

Vitamin C Replenishment in the Brain Delays Alzheimer’s, New Study Suggests
New findings from a Portuguese research team A team at i3S, the health research hub in Portugal, reports a striking link between brain vitamin C balance and Alzheimer’s disease in preclinical models. The study suggests that transporting and normalizing vitamin C concentration inside microglia—the brain’s immune cells—restores their normal functioning, potentially altering the disease course…
