About a third of people who suffer from migraines experience a phenomenon called aura before the pain sets in. NIA-funded researchers tracked the flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the peripheral nervous system following cortical spreading depression. Learn more about how aura may lead to migraine headaches: https://lnkd.in/eTdCXJBk #NIAFunded #NIHAging #Migrane

A new NIA-funded study found that personalized health coaching for dementia risk reduction improved cognition and lowered risk factors in older adults at increased risk. The team led a two-year study with 172 participants aged 70 or older who did not have dementia at the start of the study and had at least two dementia risk factors. One group was assigned personalized strategies, including meeting with health coaches, while the others had non-customized health education. Researchers found that cognition improved for both groups, and it improved slightly more for personalized participants.

As one of the initial projects in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® (AMP®) program, the AMP for Alzheimer’s disease (AMP AD) has driven cutting-edge research since its inception in 2014. This foundational public-private partnership has developed unprecedented datasets and launched a comprehensive online knowledge portal. The latest phase prioritizes underserved communities, adding critical data from at-risk populations, including Black and Latinx communities. We proudly share this new video celebrating AMP AD's success. Hear from The National Institutes of Health and FNIH leaders, partners, and a patient and caregiver as they reflect on achievements and future goals.
