Description
Jaime Fernandez Arias and co-authors explore, in 2025, whether a toxic protein in the brain harms visual memory more on the right side. Classic work links left-side damage to word memory loss and right-side damage to visual memory loss. The team tested that idea in Alzheimer's disease, where the protein builds up over time.
Brain scans measured the protein and a related marker in older adults with no impairment and in impaired patients. Memory was tested with word lists and with figure learning. Analyses mapped scan signals against each memory type across the brain, and compared left and right regions directly. The setup lets the authors judge how one-sided the protein's effect is.
