Alzheimer’s disease causes major metabolic changes in the brain

A collaboration between Weill Cornell Medicine scientists and other leaders in Alzheimer’s disease research has revealed widespread metabolic changes in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings could lead to the development of new treatments aimed at ameliorating the metabolic effects of the disease. For the study, published July 13 in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, the investigators compared the levels of about 670 metabolites in postmortem human brain tissue samples...
