Scientists found a way to restore brain blood flow in dementia
A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation and starving brain tissue. When the missing molecule was restored, normal blood flow returned. This discovery opens the door to new treatments aimed at fixing vascular problems in dementia.

Microplastics May Be Tied to Vascular Dementia Cases, Review Finds
Vascular dementia is caused by blood flow issues in the brain: it's one of the most common types of dementia, but not as well researched or understood as others.

A new study has found that
eating 50 grams (1.76 ounces) or more of high-fat cheese a day
correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia.
That includes all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content,
like brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella.
The extensive, long-term study followed 27,670 adults in Sweden for around 25 years.
The findings establish an association between daily consumption of high-fat cheese
and lower demen…

Assist-As-Needed: Adaptive Multimodal Robotic Assistance for Medication Management in Dementia Care
People living with dementia (PLWDs) face progressively declining abilities in medication management-from simple forgetfulness to complete task breakdown-yet most assistive technologies fail to adapt to these changing needs. This one-size-fits-all approach undermines autonomy, accelerates dependence, and increases caregiver burden. Occupational therapy principles emphasize matching assistance levels to individual capabilities: minimal reminders for those who merely forget, spatial guidance for t…

Linguistic and Audio Embedding-Based Machine Learning for Alzheimer's Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment Detection: Insights from the PROCESS Challenge
Early detection of Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is critical for timely intervention, yet current diagnostic approaches remain resource-intensive and invasive. Speech, encompassing both acoustic and linguistic dimensions, offers a promising non-invasive biomarker for cognitive decline. In this study, we present a machine learning framework for the PROCESS Challenge, leveraging both audio embeddings and linguistic features derived from spontaneous speech recording…

Dou you neurodivergent folks ever worry about dementia or alzheimers? I'm 33 and I already can't trust my own brain. I'm afraid I'm going to be an utter mess when I'm 70. But maybe that's not how this works.

This is a really really nice interview with Canadian Children's Book author Robert Munsch. It's his "last hurrah”. He's living with dementia and parkinson’s.
He's going to be leaving (MAID) at some point (not soon) but there are 50 more books that will be released after he has passed.
He just seems like a wonderful guy…

Convivial Conversational Agents -- shifting toward relationships
Conversational AI (CAI) systems offer opportunities to scale service provision to unprecedented levels and governments and corporations are already beginning to deploy them across services. The economic argument is similar across domains: use CAI to automate the time-consuming conversations required for customer, client or patient support. Herein we draw on our work in dementia care to explore some of the challenges and opportunities for CAI, and how a new way of conceptualising these systems c…

Temporal-Aware Iterative Speech Model for Dementia Detection
Deep learning systems often struggle with processing long sequences, where computational complexity can become a bottleneck. Current methods for automated dementia detection using speech frequently rely on static, time-agnostic features or aggregated linguistic content, lacking the flexibility to model the subtle, progressive deterioration inherent in speech production. These approaches often miss the dynamic temporal patterns that are critical early indicators of cognitive decline. In this pap…

Pyk2 plays a critical role in synaptic dysfunction during the early stages of Alzheimer's disease
Background: The locus of the gene PTK2B encoding the tyrosine kinase Pyk2 has been associated with the risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the predominant form of dementia. Pyk2 is primarily expressed in neurons where it is involved in excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic functions. Although previous studies have implicated Pyk2 in amyloid-$β$ and Tau pathologies of Alzheimer's disease, its exact role remains unresolved, with evidence showing both detrimental and protective effects in…
