Neural basis of Alzheimer disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurological disorder that affects millions of people around the world. Neuroimaging studies have revealed a number of changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, including a decrease in the size of the hippocampus, an increase in the size of the ventricles, and a decrease in the amount of gray matter. In addition, research has revealed a number of functional changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, including a decrease in the activity of certain neurotransmitters and an increase in the activity of other neurotransmitters.
