Research on neurodegeneration in spider brain leads neuroscientists to groundbreaking new discovery in Alzheimer's-affected human brains
What do spiders and Alzheimer's disease have in common? A team of researchers may have just uncovered the answer. Researchers from have made a groundbreaking connection between brain 'waste canals' and Alzheimer's disease -- a discovery inspired by studying spider brains. Their findings offer a new perspective on the cellular mechanisms behind neurodegeneration and the development of hallmark features like amyloid plaques and tau tangles.
