The findings also suggest "that the brain has the ability to find a new normal after menopause in most women."

Low awareness, the stigma of 'being mad,' inadequate medical care, and no social safety net are combining to set up an impending dementia crisis.

This blood test would make it possible to test people with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s years before they ever show any symptoms.

"One can't expect me to be kind and empathetic at all times. I'm human, too."

A new study says this belief prevents early diagnosis that can actually improve a patient's symptoms, brain function, cognitive abilities.

Stress hormones are healthy and necessary for fight-or-flight responses, but too much can cause a slew of health issues.

Mental stimulation and the stability of employee health benefits keep women sharp.

Three different studies have identified genes and brain biomarkers that could explain why Alzheimer's is a woman's disease.
