Nearly half of Medicare patients with Alzheimer’s disease have never been diagnosed, and half of those who have—and their caregivers—were never told. The state of Massachusetts is taking steps to change these statistics. #Alzheimers

In 2016, UT Southwestern reported that the shape of a tangle of tau proteins can forecast dementia at an early stage. Now, the group has found that the shape of just one tau protein may contain enough information to predict the type of dementia. #Dementia

Children who suffer #TraumaticBrainInjury may be at increased risk for developing future neurological and psychiatric disorders. Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital recommend monitoring injured children for up to five years after a brain trauma.

Drinking dark roast coffee may reduce your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Phenylindane compounds emerge during roasting and interact with beta amyloid and tau, inhibiting the abnormal protein clumping that can lead to dementia. #Alzheimers https://t.co/EcowE8fdtd

Researchers discovered a causal link between zombie cells--senescent cells that cannot die but also cannot perform the functions of normal cells--and memory disorders such as #Alzheimer’s disease. https://t.co/oCAhMNzGOj

Researchers show that a single season of high school football may be enough to cause microscopic changes in the grey matter of adolescent players’ brains.
Notably, the brain changes occurred even when impacts did not result in concussion.#tbi #concussion

A recent retrospective study showed that having high blood pressure at age 50 increases the risk of dementia later in life. This may be due to cumulative damage to blood vessels throughout the brain and body. https://t.co/x6IucFo6Ej #Alzheimer #bloodpressure

Mohammed Ahmed, Medical Director of Kaizen Brain Center, presents on the safety and efficacy of Repetitive TMS to alleviate treatment-resistant depression in TBI patients at the 2018 CTE Conference. TRD is associated with nearly half of all TBI patients. https://t.co/3OrLb4Tz9b

Recent evidence suggests that the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV1) has a causal link to #Alzheimer’s disease onset. #HSV1 remains latent in the brain and carries a gene variant for ApoE4. When reactivated, the virus can increase amyloid plaque density.

A July 2018 BU study suggests that “punch drunk” motor symptoms (e.g., tremors, slowness, and difficulty walking) associated with #CTE may be caused by Lewy body disease (LBD). #LBD has been linked to head impact from military injuries and contact sports. https://t.co/71G3n9hlPL

@salkinstitute used #CRISPR gene-editing technology to create a new enzyme (CasRx) that targets RNA instead of DNA. The system was 80% effective in rebalancing two versions of tau proteins. An imbalance may be a key driver of #dementia symptoms.

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is made up of more than 2,000 international members, elected by their peers, for outstanding achievements in medicine.

Today they welcomed Dr. Ann McKee, director of the VA-@BUMedicine-@ConcussionLF Brain Bank.

Researchers at Boston University used a machine learning framework to combine MRI scans and neuropsychological test results to detect cognitive impairment. They achieved 90% accuracy--better than either modality on its own.
