A new study revealed that abnormalities in the eye blood vessels could aid in the early detection of Alzheimer’s. The team identified an aberration in the blood-retinal barrier, which stops hazardous compounds from entering the retinal tissue, by comparing the retinal blood vessels of Alzheimer’s patients, people with mild cognitive impairment, and healthy volunteers. According … Continue reading "Eye Blood Vessel Damage May Drive Alzheimer’s"

A recent study demonstrates that menthol inhalation enhances cognitive function in animal models of Alzheimer’s. Researchers discovered that inhaling menthol reduced interleukin-1-beta levels, a protein that induces inflammation. The findings imply that some inhaled substances may help treat Alzheimer’s. Repetitive brief exposure to methnol can affect the immune system and stave off the cognitive deterioration … Continue reading "Could menthol inhalation help improve memory in Alzheimer’s?"
