Alzheimer's disease has long been thought to be irreversible, but new research using a mouse model offers hope.

A popular technique for studying brain disorders, known as lesion network mapping (LNM), appears to have a fundamental limitation. This is the conclusion of neuroscientists from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Queensland (Australia) after an extensive analysis of more than 200 studies.

Cardiologist Bob Harrington talks to Mitch Elkind, chief science officer for Brain Health and Stroke at the AHA, about the heart-brain connection and why what’s good for the brain is good for the heart.
