Even Light Drinking May Increase Dementia Risk, Large Study Finds
A new study of nearly 560,000 individuals finds a linear association between any amount of alcohol consumption and increased dementia risk, challenging previous research suggesting light drinking might be neuroprotective.

Sleep Disorders Double Dementia Risk: Large-Scale Study
A large-scale study using over one million electronic health records revealed that individuals with sleep disorders have up to double the risk of developing dementia within 15 years, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's irrespective of genetic predisposition.

Insufficient Deep Sleep Linked to Brain Shrinkage, Increased Alzheimer's Risk
A Yale School of Medicine study found that insufficient slow-wave and REM sleep correlates with brain shrinkage in areas associated with Alzheimer's disease, highlighting the importance of quality sleep for cognitive health and potentially delaying Alzheimer's onset.

Gut Virus Linked to Alzheimer's in 25-45% of Cases
Researchers discovered a link between chronic intestinal infection with the cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and the development of Alzheimer's disease, potentially affecting 25-45% of cases; a blood test is being developed to identify those who could benefit from antiviral treatments.

Sleep Deprivation: A Metabolic Disorder Increasing Neurodegenerative Disease Risk
A Science Signaling study reveals sleep deprivation causes metabolic dysfunction similar to that in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, increasing risks of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes; insufficient sleep impairs memory and increases inflammation.

Dark Microglia's Toxic Lipid Production Implicated in Alzheimer's
A new study reveals that "dark microglia," a type of brain cell discovered in 2016, produces toxic lipids that damage neurons and contribute to Alzheimer's disease; inhibiting this mechanism in mice prevented neurodegeneration, suggesting a potential therapeutic target.
