New Frontiers in Alzheimer’s Until recently, the amyloid hypothesis has dominated research in treating Alzheimer’s disease. Those therapies have repeatedly fallen short, and in this eBook we take a look at where that hypothesis stands today. We examine recent research into the spectrum of disease causes, including inflammation and immune dysfunction; cutting-edge treatments, including deep-brain stimulation and magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound; as well as lifestyle interventions that can help protect from disease.

A Question of Time Is time an illusion? Is time travel possible? Could time end? In this eBook, we take an interdisciplinary look at the fourth dimension, exploring the latest thinking in physics, cosmology, biology, philosophy and more.

The Science of Consciousness How do neurons create the sense of a unique self? On the other hand, could conscious thought be an illusion? In this eBook, we examine the biological, neural and philosophical approaches to defining how brain activity translates to the richness of experience.
