Adults With Alzheimer’s Risk Factors Show Subtle Alterations in Brain Networks Despite Normal Cognition

APOEe4, a gene associated with Alzheimer's disease risk, doesn't appear to directly affect memory performance or brain activity in older adults without cognitive impairment. However, the gene does seem to influence brain regions and systems that older at-risk adults activate to support successful memory recall.

A 3D digital illustration of a human brain side-by-side comparison, highlighting the language centers glowing brightly and equally in both a younger and older brain, while executive function areas are dimmed in the older brain.
