The medicinal herb Ginkgo biloba does not reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease development in either the healthy elderly or those with mild cognitive impairment, according to a large multicenter trial led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Findings from the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) Study, which is the first to have the necessary participant numbers and monitoring years to enable measurement of G. biloba's effectiveness and safety profile in dementia prevention, were just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association

People who manage to keep a razor-sharp memory well into their 80s appear to have fewer fiber-like tangles of a protein linked with Alzheimer's than those who age normally, U.S. researchers said on Sunday.

Having low levels of HDL, or good cholesterol, does more than increase your risk for heart disease. It may also increase your risk for dementia.
Researchers at University College London analyzed blood samples and memory test results from over 35 hundred older adults. The study participants were followed for at least seven years. They found adults with low levels of HDL had an increased risk for dementia.
For example, participants with low HDL at age 55 had a 27% increased risk for the disease compared to those with high levels

The report found there were 411,000 new cases of Alzheimer's in 2000, a number expected to grow to 454,000 new cases a year by 2010.
PS:
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It starts out with mild memory loss and confusion but escalates into complete memory loss and an inability to care for oneself.
There is no cure and the handful of drugs that can treat Alzheimer's only slow its progression for a short time.

Newly-created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival -- which has implications for using adult stem cells to replace those lost by trauma or neurodegeneration.
Loss of gene leads to protein splicing and buildup of toxic proteins in neurons
sumsung submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.mayoclinic.org)
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville have discovered how loss of a gene can lead to accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, resulting in a common dementia, and they say this mechanism may be important in a number of age-related neurological disorders.
