The Alzheimer’s enigma has puzzled researchers for decades. More than 7 million Americans are living with the neurodegenerative condition, and it’s projected that by 2060, that number will double.

People with Alzheimer’s disease have lower levels of lithium in their brains, and giving lithium to mice with symptoms of the condition reverses cognitive decline. Together, the findings suggest that ...

A small University at Buffalo clinical trial has found that at low doses, lithium aspartate is ineffective in treating the fatigue and brain fog that is often a persistent feature of long COVID; ...

In a major new finding almost a decade in the making, researchers at Harvard Medical School say they’ve found a key that may unlock many of the mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease and brain aging — the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A small University at Buffalo clinical trial has found that at low doses, lithium aspartate is ineffective in treating the fatigue and brain fog that is often a persistent feature of ...

A new study reveals that brain lithium depletion occurs early in Alzheimer’s and fuels disease progression, while low-dose lithium orotate in mice can protect against memory loss and brain damage, ...

Alzheimer’s disease, which represents 60–80% of dementia cases 1, robs people of their memory, cognition and independence. A decade-long period of mild cognitive impairment precedes the onset of ...

When one mentions lithium, most people have a negative reaction. They think of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, drooling, and lobotomies. And lithium in pharmacologic doses has some terrible downsides ...
