Background: The DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a multi-target neuroprotective drug, improving cognitive impairment in patient with vascular cognitive impairment has been confirmed. The efficacy of NBP in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBP in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD though a clinical randomized controlled trail.

Background: The initiation of amyloid plaque deposition signifies a crucial stage in Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, which often coincides with the disruption of neural circuits and cognitive decline. While the role of excitatory-inhibitory balance is increasingly recognized in AD pathophysiology, targeted therapies to modulate this balance remain underexplored. This study investigates the effect of perampanel, a selective non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist, in modulating neurophysiological changes in hAPP-J20 transgenic Alzheimer's mice.

Background: This study investigates the therapeutic versus side effects of intranasal lithium chloride (LiCl) in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) to inhibit inflammation and pyroptosis and to ameliorate on cognitive dysfunction and depressive behavior in 5XFAD mice.
Method: 5XFAD and wild type (WT) B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3 mM/kg) dissolved in RFV starting at 2 or 9 months old and the continuous treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Behavior was examined for depression, cognition, olfaction, and motor function at the ages of 5 or 12 months.
Background: Genetic studies have established that loss of function SORL1 gene variants are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). SORL1 encodes an endosomal trafficking receptor, SORLA, which regulates endosomal protein recycling through its interaction with the retromer core complex (consisting of VPS26, VPS35 and VPS29). Deficits in the levels and function of the SORLA-retromer complex are thought to underlie AD.

The recent positive phase 3 clinical trials of new treatments and their licensing and roll-out in the US and other countries represents a major turning point in Alzheimer's disease research. As has been the case with many other diseases, e.g.
