@brightbits2.0: Brain mystery solved: Why Alzheimer's Attacks These Cells First! Scientists just discovered why Alzheimer's targets specific brain regions first, and it's linked to CHOLESTEROL! UC San Francisco researchers found that the first brain region attacked by Alzheimer's has an unusually high demand for cholesterol. Why? This region, called the locus coeruleus, connects to nearly EVERYWHERE in your brain and needs massive cholesterol to function! The shocking twist: This same pathway that brings in vital cholesterol might accidentally be letting in the toxic amyloid beta that destroys brain cells! This breakthrough finally explains why treatments have failed for decades and opens entirely new possibilities for fighting this devastating disease.
