Centenarians maintain cognition by resisting amyloid-β or decoupling it from tau propagation
Resilience, not only pathology, is emerging as the predictive variable in dementia research.
TL;DR
- A medRxiv study found that centenarians maintain cognition either by resisting amyloid-β or by decoupling it from tau propagation.
- Nature reported that cognitive resilience helps predict Alzheimer's dementia.
- ScienceDaily reported that some blood thinners may have an unexpected benefit for Alzheimer's patients.
A medRxiv study found that centenarians maintain cognition either by resisting amyloid-β or by decoupling it from tau propagation. [1]
Nature reported that cognitive resilience helps predict Alzheimer's dementia. [2]
ScienceDaily reported that some blood thinners may have an unexpected benefit for Alzheimer's patients. [3]
Why it matters
Resilience — not just pathology — is emerging as the predictive variable, which reframes prevention research around what protects cognition rather than only what damages it.
Editor's note
These are research reports and a preprint, not clinical guidance; the blood-thinner item is a reported finding, not a recommendation. No medical advice is offered.
