Analysis of more than 1.6 million brain cells from older adults captured cellular changes that occur in early stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Study also identified a second community of cells that drives the older brain down a different path that does not lead to Alzheimer's.

"Our study highlights that Alzheimer's is a disease of many cells and their interactions, not just a single type of dysfunctional cell," says Columbia neurologist Philip De Jager .
