A brain test that demonstrates brain changes causing Alzheimer’s shows that education may delay dementia and Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Disease Research Institute has long been trying to find the link between education and the disease that plagues hundreds of thousands of people each year. This study may be validating and bolstering their years of education/Alzheimer’s research.
Dr. Catherine Roe a Neurology research instructor said about the study, "
The good news is that greater education may allow people to harbor amyloid plaques and other brain pathology linked to Alzheimer's disease without experiencing decline of their cognitive abilities."
Dr. Roe and her colleagues are also hoping to examine and study these same peoples cognitive memory, hobbies and other possible intellectual activities that may lead to further links.
