Researchers in the Netherlands may have found a clue to why some people remain mentally sharp despite Alzheimer's-related brain changes, according to ScienceDaily. The team compared brain tissue from donors whose average age was over 80, including people with no pathology, people with dementia and resilient people. Around 30% of older adults who develop Alzheimer's never experience symptoms; immature neurons appeared in all groups, but the cells looked different in resilient brains. The researchers say the finding may offer insight, though what it means remains unknown.

00:00Scientists in the Netherlands may have found a clue about why some brains resist Alzheimer's.
00:05The research comes from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and was published in CellStemCell.
00:11Senior author Evgenia Salta says around 30% of older adults who develop Alzheimer's disease never experience its symptoms.
00:19The team studied brain tissue from the Netherlands Brain Bank.
00:22They compared people with no detectable brain pathology, patients with Alzheimer's dementia, and resilient people.
00:29Resilient people had Alzheimer's changes but stayed mentally sharp.
00:33Immature neurons were found in all groups, in donors with an average age over 80.
00:38In resilient people, those cells showed signs of survival and damage protection with lower inflammation signals.
00:45The researchers caution that this is based on tissue data patterns.
00:48The study does not show these cells prevent dementia, and practical treatments remain a distant possibility.
