A new study of rat brains exposed to military-grade blasts indicates that troops subjected to explosive shockwaves may be at higher risk for developing Alzheimer s disease, including service members who show no symptoms of concussion or brain injury after a blast.
The Army Research Laboratory, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, University of North Carolina at Pembroke and National Institutes of Health collaborated on the research, which showed that exposure to blasts alters the connections between neurons of the hippocampus at the molecular level.
