What has long been interpreted as permanent and irreversible vascular damage may not be exclusively so. In people with Down syndrome—one of the most robust populations for studying Alzheimer's disease ...

Specific body fat distribution patterns were associated with brain structural differences, cognitive decline, and increased risk for neurologic disease.

The combined Mediterranean and blood pressure lowering diet may slow the structural changes related to brain aging, finds new ...

The structural and functional organization of the brain as shown on MRI can predict the progression of brain atrophy in patients with early-stage, mild Parkinson's disease, according to a study ...

A long-running study suggests that the MIND diet may be linked to slower structural brain changes that often accompany aging. New research published in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & ...

A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

Anti-amyloid-beta (anti-Aβ) drugs, which are used in the management of Alzheimer's disease (AD), have the potential to compromise long-term brain health by accelerating brain atrophy, a comprehensive ...

A study questioned the use of brain volume loss as a clinical trial endpoint in PPMS after finding a weak link to disability ...

—While MRI can detect abnormal atrophy during preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, atrophy assessment should be tailored to the targeted disease stage and intended use. Structural magnetic resonance ...
