More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid‐beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles.

Nearly seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and the handful of treatments approved in recent years ...

The average human brain contains nearly a kilogram of fat. That’s right. The seat of your consciousness—that very thing that might be registering surprise right now—comprises about 60 percent lipid.

The totality of the evidence indicates that treating patients to very low levels of LDL cholesterol will not increase risks of cognitive impairment, dementia, or hemorrhagic stroke, according to a new ...

How does a good night’s sleep re-energize the brain? At least in fruit flies, by burning damaged lipids. So claim scientists led by Amita Sehgal at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In ...
