In a recent study about degenerative brain disorders, the researchers found out that some people's brains have the power to counterbalance brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
According to a report issued in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the study exhibits that the response of the brain to a few disorder is not identical to all.
From the University of California, the researchers states that the growth of a lethal protein linked with Alzheimer's disease called beta-amyloid are being ward-off by some people's brains that are altered with the disease.
Twenty-two healthy young adults and forty-nine adults were being analyzed with no indications of mental deterioration unveils that the brain forms additional nerve capability to improve in preserving their brain activity.
Sixteen of the elderly ones has the presence of amyloid deposits which are linked with Alzheimer's disease in their brain scans.
A functional magnetic resonance imaging or FMRI was used by the researchers to monitor the brain's movement while the patients are memorizing. The scanners were used to track their brain's vigorous action while the participants were asked to memorize the pictures of different scenes.
Both groups showed fairly well in the observation, however, the patients with snarls of amyloid in their brains reveal to have more brain movement when details of images were remembered.
The scientists say that the patients' brains have the capability to modify and reimburse for any fresh damage due by the protein.
Dr. William Jagust, the study researcher thinks that there is a great probability that people who run through a lifespan engaged in mentally stimulating activity have greater edge to modify to possible damage.
At the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, Dr. Laura Phipps said to affirm if the additional brain activity in the research is a manifestation of the brain adjusting for early damage, and if it's possible, how long will it take for the brain to fight the damage needs long-term studies.
