American Contract Bridge League helps fight Alzheimer’s

Research has shown that learning a new skill, like playing bridge, may help lower the risk of cognitive decline and possibly Alzheimer’s or another dementia. As the inaugural partner of The Longest Day®, where participants fight the darkness of Alzheimer's and all other dementia through a fundraising activity of their choice on a day that works for them, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) has raised almost $10 million for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Gut microbiome linked to Alzheimer’s disease

A connection may exist between the development of Alzheimer's disease and bacteria in the body's digestive system, new research suggests. Scientists using artificial intelligence identified how substances produced by gut bacteria to break down food, drugs or chemicals — or its own tissue — may interact with brain cell receptors, contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s.
