New MRI Findings on Brain Shape Shifts and Dementia Risk
Overview of the study A recent study published in Nature Communications sheds new light on how the aging brain changes beyond the loss of tissue. Rather than focusing solely on how much tissue shrinks in specific regions, researchers analyzed the brain’s overall shape as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The work examined more than…

Brain shape changes linked to dementia: MRI findings
Brain shape changes as a potential early signal for dementia A new study published in Nature Communications on September 29 reveals that the aging brain’s shape, not just its tissue loss, shifts in systematic ways that correlate with cognitive function. The research suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can capture these geometric changes, which may…

MRI Finds Brain Shape Changes Linked to Dementia Risk
Aging brain shape changes may signal dementia risk Aging brains don’t merely shrink; they also change shape in systematic ways. A Nature Communications study published on September 29 reveals that these global brain shape shifts, detected through MRI, are closely tied to cognitive status and could help clinicians assess dementia risk earlier in the disease…
