A new study finds menopause, especially the drop in estrogen, may trigger early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes in women.

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed, but from one protein interfering with the normal job of another.

This review argues that women’s higher Alzheimer disease risk may be shaped in part by midlife neuroendocrine aging, especially the menopause transition, rather than by longevity alone. It highlights ...

After decades of slow progress in understanding and developing effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, scientists are finding new ways to diagnose the neurodegenerative condition, as well as ...

A new study suggests that hormonal changes during menopause, particularly the drop in estrogen, may be linked to early onset of Alzheimer's disease in women.

Rutgers-Newark researchers have shown that a genetic variant specific to African ancestry alters the brain in a way that could foretell the eventual development of Alzheimer's Disease. At the same ...
