Cromolyn Sodium Provides Neuroprotection in Animal Model of ALS
Building on similar research in Alzheimer's disease, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital demonstrated that treatment with cromolyn sodium delayed disease onset and was neuroprotective in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by decreasing the inflammatory response.

Case of Resistance to Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's Disease Suggests New Direction for Treatment
A woman with autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease had very late onset of mild cognitive impairment, apparently because she was homozygous for the APOE3 Christchurch mutation.

Patterns of Neural Network Degradation Differ in Alzheimer's Disease and Normal Aging
Functional MRI may someday be able to distinguish the neurodegenerative changes related to early Alzheimer's disease from those of normal aging.

MRI Shows Small Vessel Degeneration Is Bidirectional Between Gray and White Matter
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed that in human cerebral small vessel disease, primary damage to white matter can cause remote damage in gray matter—but the reverse also occurs. This suggests a new framework for investigating the mechanisms and potential therapies for this disease.

MRI Feature Is Marker of Disease Progression in Preclinical Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's Disease
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers found an MRI measure of locus coeruleus (LC) integrity starts declining about 12 years before symptom onset in autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease. This and related findings suggest LC integrity is a promising prognostic indicator in the preclinical stage of the disease.
