High-resolution profiling of Alzheimer’s brain resilience
Resilience to Alzheimer’s disease describes those rare individuals who exhibit normal cognitive function while harboring a high disease burden. Better understanding of the mechanisms that confer protection against cognitive decline despite high-level AD pathology offers potential therapeutic insights for preventing dementia in AD. Recent advances in the field provide a unique opportunity to explore the spatial distribution of molecules in the human brain at an unprecedented level of detail.
