Every Alzheimer research offers a new significant piece of information to the scientists. Unfortunately, .these revelation give rise to other questions which makes the disease more mysterious.
Hugh Perry, a medical professor of the Medical Research Council stated that previously people believed that schizophrenia is connected to the same part of the brain. The disease is also called “pre-mature dementia”. However, the researchers failed to prove the concept with evidences. Hence, there are chances that both the disease belong to separate parts of brain.
The researchers of Medical Research Council examined the brain scans of nearly 484 people. The majority of these people were between the ages of 8-85. The chief aim of the study is to analyze the development stages of brain. The study displays a specific pattern of nerve cells which transforms as a person grow older. Later on, the researchers matched up the similar pattern with the Alzheimer’s patients. Surprisingly, the two diseases affected different regions of brains.
Dr. Michael Bloomfield stated that schizophrenia is an extremely destructive ailment. However, it is pretty early to state that that two disease have a deep relation.
Moreover, Perry informed that the study give birth to numerous questions regarding the influence of environment and genetics on human brains. These discoveries and findings will certainly help the people who suffers from these frustrating diseases.
