Less education may lead to delayed awareness of Alzheimer's onset

A review of epidemiological data has found evidence that people who spend fewer years in school may experience a slight but statistically significant delay in the realization that they're having cognitive problems that could be Alzheimer's disease.

   12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A study published in PLoS ONE today addresses the impact of neuroprotection on Alzheimer's disease. Remarkably, the study shows that even very modest neuroprotective effects at the cellular level can lead to dramatic reductions in the number of cases of Alzheimer's.

5. New study zeroes in on genetic roots of Alzheimer's
   04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have long known that individuals with a certain gene are at higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Now a new study helps explain why this is so. The research, led by scientists at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has uncovered a molecular mechanism that links the susceptibility gene to the process of Alzheimer's disease onset. The findings appear in the Journal of Neuroscience and may lead to new pathways for development of Alzheimer's therapeutics.

6. Blood test takes step toward predicting Alzheimer's risk, Stanford researchers find
   10-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   One of the most distressing aspects of Alzheimer's disease is the difficulty in determining whether mild memory problems are the beginning of an inevitable mental decline. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a blood test that is a step toward giving people an answer two to six years in advance of the onset of the disease.

10. Novel Pathway Regulates Timing Of Brain Cell Development
    10-06-2006 · ScienceDaily
    Brain formation involves the carefully timed production of different types of nerve cells -- making too much of one type and too little of another at a given time could lead to brain malformations. In the Oct. 6 issue of Cell, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report a mechanism that influences this timing, with possible implications for Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism and other diseases.
