Coloured 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain of a patient with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that causes loss of brain mass. The loss of mas in the cerebral cortex seen here is asymmetrical. As is the dilation of the ventricles (light blue). This brain shrinkage leads to memory loss, confusion, personality changes and ultimately death. | |
