Re: halting Phase III trials of aducanumab

I wonder if there is any data comparing the results for the Apoe4 and the non-carriers. I can't find any so far. Based on the Biogen website, 2/3 of participants were Apoe4 carriers.

Question about supplements and endalznow.org

Received an email from Alzheimer's Prevention Registry saying "no" to supplements for brain health. Am I reading this right? I thought there was scientific evidence that Tumeric, krill oil and some other supplements are beneficial for the brain. GCBH examined evidence available about vitam...

I lowered the threshold by 30 min after I read a study by FitBit, https://blog.fitbit.com/sleep-study/ , the takeaway is that for women age > 55 average sleep time is around 6.5 hours. The...

Re: New e4/e4

Thank you, Anna! Not an easy journey so far. I am intimately familiar with the misery of chronic sleep deprivation resulting from relentless insomnia.
