During the last years, epigenetic processes have emerged as important factors for many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These complex diseases seem to have a heritable component; however, genome-wide association studies failed to identify the genetic loci involved in the etiology. So, how can these changes be transmitted from one generation to the next? Answering this question would allow us to understand how the environment can affect human populations for multiple generations and explain the high prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD. This review pays particular attention to the relationship among epigenetics, cognition, and neurodegeneration across generations, deepening the understanding of the relevance of heritability in neurodegenerative diseases. We highlight some recent examples of EI induced by experiences, focusing on their contribution of processes in learning and memory to point out new targets for therapeutic interventions. Here, we first describe the prominent role of epigenetic factors in memory processing. Then, we briefly discuss aspects of EI. Additionally, we summarize evidence of how epigenetic marks inherited by experience and/or environmental stimuli contribute to cognitive status offspring since better knowledge of EI can provide clues in the appearance and development of age-related cognitive decline and AD.

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers are considered key mediators of synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairment. These unstable intermediate Aβ species can interfere with different cellular organelles, leading to neuronal cell death, through the formation of Ca2+-permeable membrane pores, impairment in the levels of acetylcholine neurotransmitters, increased insulin resistance, promotion of pro-inflammatory cascades, among others. Based on a series of evidences that indicate the key role of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in amyloid plaque formation, we evaluated the capacity of four monosaccharides, i.e., glucosamine (GlcN), N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), glucosamine-6-sulfate (GlcN6S), and glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), to reduce the Aβ-mediated pathological hallmarks. The tested monosaccharides, in particular, GlcN6S and GlcN6P, were able to interact with Aβ aggregates, reducing neuronal cell death, Aβ-mediated damage to the cellular membrane, acetylcholinesterase activity, insulin resistance, and pro-inflammation levels.

A new study highlights the role lifestyle factors, like sleep, exercise, stress, and weight gain can have on your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Do you ever worry about you or a loved one getting Alzheimer’s disease? It’s heartbreaking to watch someone you love not remember who you are or have difficulties with everyday tasks. The sacred plant is effective in preventing these symptoms of cognitive decline by reducing brain inflammation due to aging and by restoring a process called neurogenesis. Watch as Dr. Daniel Stein, a cannabis Neurologist, shares what he refers to as a “type 3” preventative protocol. *** This limited clip is a preview from our Healing Brain Masterclass.

New research has found a way to partially restore brain cell communication around areas damaged by plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a lipid carrier in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems. Lipid-loaded apoE lipoprotein particles bind to several cell surface receptors to support membrane homeostasis and injury repair in the brain. Considering prevalence and relative risk magnitude, the ε4 …

The Alzheimer's brain can't handle glucose effectively, which is why this unique saturated fat may hold the key to improving and even reversing the condition in some patients

New research connects some very important dots and gives further substantiation to the idea that coffee is good for the brain.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. As the aging population is increasing, AD is becoming one of the leading causes of disability and death among the elderly. However, currently there is no cure for this disease. Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide ma

Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature.

This is a journal and virtual library useful to scientists, physicians and patients. The site contains medical and biology information as articles, databases, books, lectures and more. The site also contains the forms to search the most useful sites on the Web.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder involving extracellular plaques (amyloid-β) and intracellular tangles of tau protein. Recently, tangle formation has been identified as a major event involved in the neurodegenerative process, due to the conversion of either soluble peptides or oli …

Omega-3 fatty acids are known to be good for heart health, but did you know that in high doses they may also slow cognitive decline?

Muses Labs, partnering with leading Alzheimer's researchers, pioneered the MEND™ Protocol to treat underlying drivers of Alzheimer’s disease with big-data.

Dementia and Alzheimer's a big problem in industrialized countries. With the aging population at greater and greater risk for these conditions, it is imperative to understand that there are a variety of natural ways to stop dementia in its tracks. In this video, Dr. Osborne breaks down 6 natural ways you can overcome brain inflammation (brainflammation) including: 1. Avoid gluten 2. Eat lots of healthy fats 3. Avoid eating excessive carbohydrates 4. Take exercise more seriously 5. Maintain a healthy blood sugar 6. Do a medication review with your doctor. Remember, natural help is all about your diet and your lifestyle. There are no magic cures. You have to put in the work.
