What it is

Brain atrophy means loss of brain volume.[1]

Why it matters

NIA describes widespread brain atrophy by final Alzheimer disease stages, resulting from significant cell death.[1]

What it affects

  • Atrophy is one sign of broader neuronal and network damage, not a stand-alone explanation for one memory symptom.[1]

Interpretation traps

  • Brain imaging findings require clinical interpretation; BioConst does not interpret personal scans.[1]
