Normal brain vs. brain affected by Alzheimer's disease
Combination of two brain diagrams in one for comparison. In the left normal brain, in the right brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Estrogen and testosterone demonstrate neuroprotective effects and have been theorized to play a role in reducing the effects of Alzheimer's disease.
