Description

A science and technology improves so does our health and life expectancy. According to new research, a simple gene test may one day be able to predict young adults' risk for developing Alzheimer's disease later in life. In a research study, it was found that people without any prior thinking impairments, but possessing a high number of gene mutations linked to Alzheimer's, began to develop worse memory as time progressed and even had a smaller hippocampus -- the region of the brain that's associated with both memory and emotion. According to lead researcher Elizabeth Mormino, "This implies that genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease may exert an effect on the hippocampus very early in life, which may make those individuals more likely to get Alzheimer's disease late in life,"
