According to recent research, Type 2 diabetes may significantly alter brain function, specifically impacting areas linked to reward processing and memory, in a manner similar to the initial stages of Alzheimer's disease. The study, focusing on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and its connection with the hippocampus, observed weakened signals and impaired processing in diabetic models. These findings suggest that the elevated risk of Alzheimer's in individuals with diabetes could be attributed to these specific neural changes, potentially opening new avenues for early intervention and treatment strategies.https://neurosciencenews.com/diabetes-memory-alzheimers-28514/
