Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers are investigating whether subtle changes in gait correspond with the earliest biological signs of the disease.

Research suggests alcohol may affect the Alzheimer’s-related brain circuits in very different ways depending on the type of disease changes already present.

New research suggests Alzheimer’s disease may affect the brain’s ability to adapt before memory problems become obvious, offering clues for earlier interventions.

Building on previous findings, researchers are exploring how desynchronized circadian rhythms may trigger brain inflammation associated with dementia risk.

Dr. Jianrong Li’s novel study focuses on the brain’s support cells and myelin, exploring how genetic risk factors may trigger early changes linked to Alzheimer’s.

With over $1.2 million in seed funding, the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Research Initiative (DARI) unites researchers across disciplines to drive breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and care.
