		<description><![CDATA[Persons with higher levels of leptin, a protein hormone produced by  fat cells and involved in the regulation of appetite, may have an associated  reduced incidence of Alzheimer disease and dementia, according to a study in the  December 16 issue of JAMA.
Previous studies have shown that overweight and obesity in mid-life are [...]]]></description>

In this study, researchers recruited 3,485  elderly residents in Bavaria and asked them about their physical activity. None  of the participants had dementia at the start of the analysis, but after two  years of follow-up, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cell phone exposure may be helpful in the fight against Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, a new study shows.
The study, involving mice, provides evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves associated with cell phone use may protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
The study is published in the Journal of Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease.

And the more fish people ate, the less likely they were to develop the serious memory loss of dementia. The study [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Understanding exactly how the brain encodes and stores memories is one of the  central, unsolved mysteries in neuroscience. Currently the most widely accepted  theory is long-term potentiation (LTP)—the lasting communication established  between two neurons when they are stimulated simultaneously.
As a person processes an event, two neurons pass information through a small  [...]]]></description>
