Brain changes following TBI share similarities with Alzheimer s disease

The brain surface is rendered as a translucent layer to provide anatomical context for the streamline display. White matter connections and the brain surface are displayed using different colors across for the same subject.

The findings appear this week in GeroScience.

USC: Brain Changes After Traumatic Injuries Likened to Alzheimer s

By City News Service Apr 26, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Brain changes in people with Alzheimer s disease and in those with mild traumatic brain injuries have significant similarities, suggesting new ways to identify patients at high risk for the progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions, according to a USC study released today. Traumatic brain injuries TBIs which affect over 1.7 million Americans every year, are often followed by changes in brain structure and function and by cognitive problems such as memory deficits, impaired social function and difficulty with decision-making. Although mild TBI also known as concussion is a known risk factor for Alzheimer s disease, prior studies haven t quantified the extent to which these conditions share patterns of neural degeneration in the brain.

Is my mind slipping? : what really works to help an ageing brain

RYMAN HEALTHCARE The music video recreation features 35 residents, with an average age of 80, from three different Auckland retirement homes. When you reach a certain age, every lost key or hard-to-conjure word comes with a nagging question - is my mind slipping? The answer, unfortunately, is probably yes, but that doesn t mean that you re becoming senile or have something to worry about, says Denise Park, distinguished university chair in behavioural and brain sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas. Most people experience a little bit of forgetfulness as they get older, particularly in their 60s and 70s, Park says, and this is the result of subtle changes in processing speed that begin in your 20s. Initially, these changes are too small to perceive, but eventually they become noticeable.
