As many as one quarter of all adults over the age of 60 experience age-related cognitive decline. This cognitive decline may be due to many factors, such as problems with sleep, the loss of neurons, ...

The cerebrospinal fluid from young mice is awash with factors that keep the brain sharp. Now, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, report that when ...

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Infusing older mice prone to memory loss with the spinal fluid of younger mice was found to improve aging-related recollection issues, a new study found. Researchers subjected 20 ...

Despite rampant plaque pathology, most transgenic mice that overproduce amyloidβ (Aβ) fail to capture other hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, such as neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal loss. Now, a ...

A team at Stanford University has demonstrated a new approach to reversing memory loss — in mice. An infusion of spinal fluid from young mice reversed the memory loss typically seen in aging animals, ...

Researchers identified a protein in the fluid that could boost the cognition of aging animals — and might lead to future treatments for people. By Benjamin Mueller Five years ago, Tal Iram, a young ...

Memory loss has been reversed in mice by injecting them with brain fluid from younger rodents – raising hope for future dementia treatments. Researchers took cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) – a fluid that ...

For a human, one of the first signs someone is getting old is the inability to remember little things; maybe they misplace their keys, or get lost on an oft-taken route. For a laboratory mouse, it’s ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...
