Unveiling the Extensive Brain Effects of Alzheimer's

Researchers have discovered that Alzheimer's-related changes in brain networks extend beyond memory and attention, impacting sensory and motor circuits. These findings challenge previous assumptions about Alzheimer's effects and suggest that early-stage Alzheimer's may exhibit broader cognitive impairment detectable during mild cognitive impairment, potentially offering new treatment targets. The research indicates that brain network dysfunction could be a valuable marker for Alzheimer's diagnosis and disease risk assessment.
