#Memory loss is often the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease, followed by confusion and difficulty thinking. These symptoms reflect the typical pattern of worsening damage to #brain tissues.
A recent study yields clues to why certain parts of the brain are particularly vulnerable to Alzheimer’s damage. It comes down to the gene #APOE, the greatest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. The parts of the brain where APOE is most active are the areas that sustain the most damage.

@Javier_DN Interesting one! Just wanted to link to a recent paper by our group, were we found similar results!
