ST. LOUIS, April 21 (UPI) -- Having trouble figuring out where to go may be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, based on a recent study linking the ability to get through a maze to other biomarkers indicative of it. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis compared the ability to navigate a maze by groups of people with and without biomarkers for the development of Alzheimer's disease, finding it accurately predicted whether they were at risk for the disease. Preclinical Alzheimer's ..>> view originalNew York Hospital to Pay $2.2 Million Over Unauthorized Filming of 2 Patients

Researchers found that young children were actually more likely to gain weight during childhood if their parents thought they were overweight. The study monitored more than 3,500 Australian children and found that those who were overweight when they were 4 or 5 years old, and whose parents viewed them as overweight, gained significantly more weight by their 13th birthday. This added gain is in comparison to children who were overweight, but whose parents thought they were actually normal weight ..>> view originalScientists search for the genes behind healthy aging
Could healthy aging be in your genes? That's the question researchers from Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) are trying to answer with their long-term "Wellderly" study -- an analysis of the genome sequences of healthy elderly people in hopes of unlocking the genetic secrets behind lifelong health.After eight years, the first findings have been released and reveal a higher-than-normal presence of genetic variants that may offer protective benefits against cognitive decline."The Wel..>> view originalWhy We Sleep Poorly The First Night In A New Place: The Birdbrain Effect
