Brain Scans
This is a 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.
This image shows an image of a healthy brain and an image of a brain with Alzheimer's. In the brain with Alzheimer's, the hippocampus and cerebral cortex have shrunk, and the ventricles are severely enlarged.
