Give to UCSFUCSF experts discuss the current state of Alzheimer’s treatments and future therapies that may slow progression of the disease.
While we sleep, our brains process our daily actions to create motor memory, which makes physical acts such as throwing a basketball subconscious.
38 UCSF researchers rank in the top 1 percent for impact in their fields, according to a new analysis of research citations by science and intellectual property company Clarivate.
UCSF Experts Present Research at the Annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference in San Francisco.
The brains of people with Down syndrome develop the same neurodegenerative tangles and plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease and frequently demonstrate signs of the neurodegenerative disorder in their forties or fifties. A new study shows that these tangles and plaques are driven by the same amyloid beta (Aß) and tau prions as Alzheimer’s disease.
Brain implants for speech, neurological effects of COVID-19, and motor recovery after stroke are among the topics that researchers from UCSF will be presenting at this year’s annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
A $147 million grant will expand diversity among Alzheimer’s disease research participants, and involve partners from UCSF, the San Francisco VA Medical Center, and the Northern California Institute for Research and Education.
After Don Onken suffered a stroke at 78, a quick response by doctors at the UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus Heights helped him get back on his feet quickly – and back to the golf course.
A small molecule called ISRIB that was identified at UCSF can reverse the neuronal and cognitive effects of concussion in mice weeks after an injury occurred, new research found.
After a decade of work, scientists at UCSF’s Neuroscape Center have developed a suite of video game interventions that improve key aspects of cognition in aging adults.
A new study shows that fewer Black, Hispanic and Asian patients would qualify for these treatments that may slow Alzheimer’s progression, since cognitive impairment in these groups is more likely to be caused by other forms of dementia that may be unrelated to amyloid plaques.
UCSF has revealed how blood vessel cells develop in the prenatal human brain, paving the way to fully understand the role of these cells in healthy brain development and disease.
