Description

Amanda Denning and co-authors present a neuroanatomy report, published in 2025, grounding brain scan maps of memory regions in real tissue. The medial temporal lobe, where Alzheimer's disease takes hold early, has intricate subregions that scans usually divide crudely. The team assembled a rare dataset from seventeen brain donors linking fine microscope anatomy, postmortem scans, and scans taken during life.

Expert anatomists annotated the boundaries by hand across serial tissue sections. Those annotations train and test an automatic tool that outlines the subregions on ordinary scans. The authors describe the effort as the most complete attempt so far to anchor scan based markers of Alzheimer's in true anatomy, a step toward measuring early disease change with confidence.
