Insights from Non-Human Primates Shed Light on Alzheimer's Resistance

Review explores how brain aging in non-human primates differs significantly, offering insights into potential protective mechanisms against Alzheimer’s.

In humans, harmful tau protein deposits, known as tau tangles, appear early and spread throughout the brain, damaging cells and triggering memory loss.

While primates exhibit beta-amyloid deposits, these fragments are less toxic than those seen in humans.
