What it is
Brain atrophy means loss of brain volume.[1]
Why it matters
NIA describes widespread brain atrophy by final Alzheimer disease stages, resulting from significant cell death.[1]
What it affects
- Atrophy is one sign of broader neuronal and network damage, not a stand-alone explanation for one memory symptom.[1]
Interpretation traps
- Brain imaging findings require clinical interpretation; BioConst does not interpret personal scans.[1]
