Researchers map brain cell changes in aging mice, pointing to new ways to prevent Alzheimer's.

Scientists at the Allen Institute have discovered specific brain cell types in mice that significantly change with age, particularly in the hypothalamus. This area showed decreased neuron function and increased inflammation. The study, published in Nature, mapped over 1.2 million brain cells and could lead to new dietary and therapeutic strategies to maintain brain health and prevent age-related disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
