Study pinpoints the ‘Big Bang’ of tau-induced Alzheimer’s neurodegeneration
Scientists in the U.S. have identified what they believe to be the genesis of Alzheimer's disease – the precise point at which a healthy tau protein becomes toxic but has not yet formed deadly tangles in the brain. The finding opens up numerous avenues for treatment research.

Arc protein ‘switch off’ essential for cognitive flexibility
An international team of scientists has discovered that memory, learning and cognitive flexibility depend on a 'switch off' of the Arc protein in the brain, which could enable us to better understand and combat neurological diseases that inhibit memory, such as Alzheimer's.
