Description

Geon-Ho Jahng, Hak Young Rhee, Soonchan Park, and Chang-Woo Ryu published a study in 2025 on the electrical properties of the brain in Alzheimer's disease. A special MRI method can estimate how well brain tissue conducts electricity, inside and outside the fibers that carry signals. Whether these values change in the disease was unknown.

The team scanned sixty-six older adults: twenty with the disease, twenty-five with mild memory loss, and twenty-one healthy peers. Conductivity ran higher in patients across large brain areas, including the hippocampus. Values in the mild group also rose above healthy levels. The authors link the shifts to thinking decline, offering a new kind of scan measure to study.
