This undated image courtesy of, Dr. Timothy Rittman, University of Cambridge, shows an MRI image of a healthy brain (L) and an Alzheimer's brain (R) with large black gaps where brain has shrunk. Toxic protein clusters thought responsible for the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease reach different regions of the brain early and then accumulate over the course of decades, according to a new study on October 29, 2021. The research, published in Science Advances, is the first to use human data to quantify the speed of the chemical processes leading to the neurodegenerative condition, and could eventually have important implications for how scientists design treatments. It also upends a long-held theory that said the clusters start at a single point and then trigger a chain reaction in other regions, as has been found in mice and was thought true of people too.
