Alzheimer’s disease has long been associated with amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. However, recent years have seen a growing interest in alternative theories that go beyond these traditional markers. The amyloid cascade hypothesis, which posits that amyloid…
Peptide therapy is a rapidly evolving field in regenerative medicine that has shown promising results in enhancing neural repair and overall health. To understand how peptides contribute to neural health, let’s first explore what peptides are and how they work.…
Combining Cholinesterase Inhibitors with Cognitive Therapies: A Promising Approach In recent years, there has been a growing interest in combining cholinesterase inhibitors with cognitive therapies to improve cognitive function in individuals with neurocognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Cholinesterase inhibitors,…
Vitamin A is a nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, including the health of our nervous system. While it is well-known for its benefits to vision and immune function, research has also highlighted its potential neuroprotective…
Mapping Supratentorial Lesions: Tools and Techniques Understanding and treating brain lesions, especially those located in the supratentorial region, require precise mapping techniques. These techniques are crucial for surgeons to remove as much of the lesion as possible while preserving neurological…
Structural Changes in White Matter: A Cellular Perspective White matter is a crucial part of the brain, consisting of bundles of nerve fibers that connect different brain regions. These fibers, known as axons, are covered with a fatty substance called…
Polypoid Tumors: The Impact of Early Intervention on Outcomes Polypoid tumors are growths that can occur in various parts of the body, including the digestive system. These tumors can be benign or cancerous and often appear as polyps, which are…
Is It Time to Move Beyond the Amyloid Hypothesis? For decades, the amyloid hypothesis has been the cornerstone of Alzheimer’s disease research. This theory suggests that the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins in the brain is the primary cause of…
Bioactive peptides are naturally occurring compounds found in various foods and supplements that have shown significant potential in protecting the brain from damage. These peptides are essentially short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, and they play…
A Historical Overview of Cholinesterase Inhibitors in Neurology Cholinesterase inhibitors have played a significant role in the treatment of neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. These medications work by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory and cognitive…
