Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, inflammation, and brain atrophy. The condition may affect different parts of ...

But because Alzheimer's causes brain atrophy, most prominently in the hippocampus, an area of the brain that plays a significant role in memory, it surprised researchers that people with lower ...

6, 2024 — Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. ... New Brain Mapping Technique ...

A loss of brain volume associated with new immunotherapies for Alzheimer's disease may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue, finds a study ...

Brain volume change following anti-amyloid β immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease: amyloid-removal-related pseudo-atrophy. The Lancet Neurology , 2024; 23 (10): 1025 DOI: 10.1016/S1474-4422(24 ...

A loss of brain volume associated with new immunotherapies for Alzheimer's disease may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue, finds a study ...

Both beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles are early signs of the brain’s march toward a possible Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Amyloid plaques typically appear first, with tau tangles ...

Metabolic dysfunctions are one of the major contributors to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). They are one of the main causes of the inflammatory ...
