Study reveals Alzheimer's has two phases, with early neuron protection showing treatment promise.

A study of 84 cadaver brains indicates that Alzheimer's disease progresses through two phases, with early treatment showing more promise. Researchers found that somatostatin inhibitory neurons die off in the early phase, suggesting that protecting these neurons could be key to effective treatment. The study used advanced techniques to examine over 3.4 million brain cells, offering a detailed timeline of Alzheimer's impact.
