Optical imaging links altered metabolism and oxygen use in Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease involves not only memory loss but also altered metabolism and oxygen use in brain cells, particularly due to dysfunctional mitochondria. These changes may be linked to reduced blood flow and oxygen availability, potentially offering new insights into the metabolic aspects of the disease.
