Hippocampal atrophy is associated with cognitive decline over time, independent of amyloid-beta (Aβ) or tau, new research shows. Investigators note the findings suggest neurological disorders other ...

Longitudinal hippocampal atrophy was tied to cognitive decline independently of amyloid-beta or tau in clinically normal older adults, suggesting that non-Alzheimer's pathologies may contribute to ...

Striking brain similarities have been detected in patients who experience long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), in particular, a larger than normal hippocampus.

—While MRI can detect abnormal atrophy during preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, atrophy assessment should be tailored to the targeted disease stage and intended use. Structural magnetic resonance ...

Gum disease and tooth loss are linked to hippocampal atrophy and may have a more negative impact on the brain than aging, new research suggests. Investigators found that in a late middle-aged and ...

Gum disease and tooth loss are linked to shrinkage of the hippocampus, an area of the brain crucial for memory. The corresponding study was published in Neurology. Previous studies suggest that tooth ...

Researchers report that as the hippocampus area of the brain shrinks, memory worsens. They note that the decline in hippocampus volume could be due to different forms of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s ...
