Does Diabetes Speed Up Memory Loss in Alzheimer’s Disease?
Research has shown that diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and the risk of memory loss in people who don’t have Alzheimer’s disease. But it hasn’t been clear whether people with Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes have more rapid memory loss than those who have Alzheimer’s disease but no diabetes.

Declines in Other Thinking and Learning Skills May Precede Memory Loss in Alzheimer’s Disease
Cognitive abilities other than memory, including visuospatial skills needed to perceive relationships between objects, may decline years prior to a clinical diagnosis in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Sleep Deprivation Taxes Neurons, Racks Up Brain Amyloid-beta?
While the occasional all-nighter to cram for exams or finish a grant proposal may seem like no big deal, losing sleep night after night could take its toll on brain health in later life, two new studies suggest.

Parkinson’s Researchers Focus on Chemical from Soil Bacteria
A chemical produced by common soil bacteria may kill neurons that produce dopamine, according to a study published online in the journal PLoS One. Dopamine neuron demise leads to the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a movement disorder affecting some 1 million Americans.

Researchers Identify Protein that Repairs Alzheimer’s Brain Damage
The scene plays out a thousand times each day in physicians’ offices across the country. An anxious spouse or adult child tells a story of memory loss, poor judgment or erratic behavior in an elderly patient. Those in the room may not realize that this moment has been nearly a decade in the making. It follows a desperate battle that the patient’s brain cells have been waging to repair damage caused by the relentless progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
