Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that in both types of Alzheimer’s, a basic component of brain function starts to decline about five years before symptoms, such as memory loss, become obvious. “The brain networks affected by inherited Alzheimer’s disease in a 30-year-old are very similar to the networks affected by uninherited Alzheimer’s disease in a 60-, 70- or 80-year-old,” said senior author Beau Ances, MD, PhD. “This affirms that what we learn by studying inherited Alzheimer’s, which appears at younger ages, will help us better understand and treat more common forms of the disease.” https://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/27250.aspx
