“As a test, the algorithm was given a set of 40 scans from 40 patients it had never studied before. It proved to be 100% accurate at detecting Alzheimer’s disease an average of more than six years prior to a […]
“A big challenge facing Alzheimer’s and dementia researchers today is finding a way to identify patients suffering from the earliest stages of cognitive decline. New research is suggesting that AI could be the key to accurately predicting those patients most […]
“Impressive new research has discovered the earliest point in a neurodegenerative process that is thought to lead to dementia. The researchers describe the discovery as like finding the “Big Bang” of Alzheimer’s disease, and it’s hoped the work leads to […]

“In the research, the team inserted small, biodegradable sponges made of collagen soaked in Tideglusib into cavities. The sponges triggered dentine growth and within six weeks, the damage was repaired. The collagen structure of the sponges melted away, leaving only […]
With a training dataset of only 67 MRI scans, “The AI was able to diagnose Alzheimer’s 86 percent of the time. More importantly, it was able to detect mild cognitive impairment 84 percent of the time, making it a potentially […]
“In a new study, the researchers show that consumption of extra-virgin olive oil protects memory and learning ability and reduces the formation of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain – classic markers of Alzheimer’s disease.” | learn more
