Fascinating animation highlighting the drop in blood flow in the brain across different stages of #Alzheimers disease. 🧠
🌟 New week, new animation 🧠 Research by our @loft_lab uses noninvasive ASL MRI to show that brain blood flow decreases even in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s — before memory problems appear. This could help doctors catch the disease earlier and track treatment over time.
🧬 Studying Alzheimer’s in people with Down syndrome is unlocking new paths for prevention. Dr. Michael Rafii shares what’s changing and what’s next in Ep. 3 of The Alzheimer’s Research Podcast. 🎧 Listen:hubs.ly/Q03tK6mh0 #AlzheimersResearch #DownSyndrome #Podcast #ATRI
