Why do some people remain cognitively healthy well into their 90s, even when their brains show many of the changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer’s disease may look similar from one person to another even when different biological processes are driving the damage, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
