As life spans continue to increase, so the will risk of dementia in individuals, but new research from Sweden indicates people can minimize this risk.

A study from Loyola University suggests that neurological disorders like epilepsy and dementia are on the rise, but new therapies could soon be formed with the help of diagnostic tests and stem cell research.

When admitted to a hospital emergency department, elderly patients who suffer from dementia and delirium often do not understand why they are there. They also tend to not understand ER discharge instructions.

A number of factors prevent Alzheimer's disease research from reaching its optimal potential, according to a new report.

In a placebo-controlled study, researchers in Sweden have shown that an operation can help patients who have dementia caused by white matter changes and hydrocephalus (a build-up of fluid inside the skull).

A study by the Institute of Aging Research suggests that treating the symptoms and stress associated with advanced dementia may be more efficient than aggressive treatment for the illness.

A key protein involved in Alzheimer's disease is produced at a normal rate but is not sufficiently removed in the disease.
