Changes in the brain

We see changes in a brain with advanced Alzheimer's disease.

The cortex (atrophy) retracts and areas related to thinking, planning and memory are damaged.

Atrophy is very noticeable in the hippocampus, an area of the cortex that plays a fundamental role in forming new memories.

The fluid-filled ventricles - spaces within the brain - become larger.

  1. Regions relevant to language
  2. Regions relevant to memory
