Cortex Area Thinner in Youth with Alzheimer’s-Related Gene - April 23, 2007

Posted by National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases on April 24th, 2007 at 03:15pm

A part of the brain first affected by Alzheimer’s disease (http://www.nia.nih.gov/Alzheimers/) is thinner in youth with a risk gene for the disorder, a brain imaging study by researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has found. A thinner entorhinal cortex, a structure in the lower middle part of the brain’s outer mantle, may render these youth more susceptible to degenerative changes and mental decline later in life, propose Drs. Philip Shaw, Judith Rapoport, Jay Giedd, and NIMH and McGill University colleagues.
