Why do some brain regions resist Alzheimer's? @ucsfimaging.bsky.social researchers built a "Google Maps" for tau movement, linking genetics with brain scans. Findings show distinct gene roles that create vulnerability or resilience. bit.ly/3GNl630 #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth
Why Do Some Brain Regions Resist Alzheimer’s?
It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps…
