There’s probably a fungus living in your brain right now. And it could be contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, according to new medical research.

Participants also underwent detailed MRI brain scans, enabling researchers to measure subtle changes in brain volume over time, particularly in regions known to be vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer's disease might damage the brain in two distinct phases, a new study suggests. An early phase that occurs slowly and silently appears to lay the groundwork for a second, more widely ...
