The accumulation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins disrupts the connections between brain regions associated with memory years before symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear.
A new study led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) shows the impact of early amyloid-β and tau protein accumulation on disrupting connections between brain structures that are important for memory.

UK s Alaine E. Reschke-Hernández talks about her research exploring the impact of music on Alzheimer s patients.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 26, 2021) Newly published research has found familiar music can elicit an extended emotional response in patients with Alzheimer’s-type dementia. The findings from this potential new approach were featured in issue three of volume 78 of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Building on the belief that music has emotional and behavioral benefits, researchers under the leadership of University of Kentucky School of Music’s Alaine E. Reschke-Hernández, assistant professor of music therapy, set out to explore if those emotions provoked by music remain without declarative memory (conscious recollection of the music). In the article, “Hooked on a Feeling: Influence of Brief Exposure to Familiar Music on Feelings of Emotion in Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease,” the team of researchers from UK, Missouri University of Science and Technolo
