New study! #Alzheimer's affects women disproportionately, 2 in every 3 diagnoses. Pregnancy causes profound hormonal and brain changes, including in the hippocampus. Could reproductive history shape the disease's earliest stages? www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...

We analyze the relationship between the reproductive history and the preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease
The study provides preliminary evidence that the number of births may only influence cognitive decline in women who already have high levels of β-amyloid protein in their brain
