The parietal lobe matters in Alzheimer's Disease, but also after a blindness

What is it about?

The parietal lobe is a structure that suffers a severe decline throughout Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, eye diseases that lead to a visual impairment (VI( raise neuroplastic changes in this lobe. The present paper examines the pathophysiological changes of the parietal lobe in AD and also the remodeling process that takes place in this brain region after a VI.

Why is it important?

We hypothesize that the increased activity of the parietal lobe in people with VI may diminish the neurodegeneration of this structure in this population. Thus, the enhanced neuroplasticity in the parietal lobe is much more relevant against degeneration than previously expected.
