A major mystery in Alzheimerâs disease research is why some brain cells succumb to the creeping pathology of the disease years before symptoms first appear, while others seem impervious to the degeneration surrounding them until the diseaseâs final stages. Â

Now, in a study published Jan. 10, 2021, in
Nature Neuroscience, a team of molecular biologists and neuropathologists from the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences have joined forces to identify for the first time the neurons that are among the first victims of the disease ââ¯accumulating toxic âtanglesâ and dying off earlier than neighboring cells. Â
Studying brain tissue of 10 donors who had varying degrees of Alzheimer’s disease when they died, scientists discovered neurons in the parts of the brain that handle memory, navigation and self-awareness are early targets of the disease.

(CN) Different parts of the brain are more susceptible to the effects of Alzheimer’s disease than others, and according to a study released Monday the specific at-risk neurons have now been identified for the first time promising hope that they can be treated to become more resilient to the illness.
