Overall Brain Health Protects Memory From Early Alzheimer’s

Why do some brains withstand the earliest onslaught of Alzheimer’s disease without showing cognitive decline? A new study demonstrates that maintaining good overall brain health can actively defend memory, attention, and executive function from early Alzheimer’s-related pathology.
