New AI Tool Reveals Genetic Link Between Memory Cells and Alzheimers

A new computational tool developed by researchers has uncovered genetic evidence directly linking Alzheimers disease to the loss of memory-making neurons, helping to resolve a decades-long mystery in dementia research. The algorithm, called seismic, matches genetic data to individual cell types, outperforming previous methods and highlighting how specific brain cells-not just immune cells-are implicated in Alzheimers.
