Dementia doesn't just erode memory -- it also changes behavior and mental health. A study shows the brain's salience network and tau protein may be involved.

TUESDAY, Oct. 8, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- The brain has a waste-disposal system that clears away junk proteins that ...

Further research could also help explain and even predict variation in the onset of behavioral changes in people with ...

Researchers have discovered that disruptions in the brain’s salience network, often tied to tau protein buildup, correlate strongly with behavioral changes in people with early-stage dementia.

Researchers from the University of Michigan reveal new insights into early-stage dementia, identifying tau protein as a ...
