News:Research and scientific results

BBRC researchers have detected that people most exposed to air pollution have greater brain atrophy and less cortical thickness in specific areas of the brain that are affected in Alzheimer's disease.

Four researchers explain in a video (in Spanish) how they are working with this new scenario

Dr Marc Suárez-Calvet explains his experience and the current stage of the project that he has led with European funding

The research opens the door to a new line of research that will analyze the relationship between sleep quality and Alzheimer’s risk

The results complement previous findings with participants of the Alfa Study

The results show that people with beta-amyloid alteration and subjective perception of cognitive impairment have cerebral volume loss in areas associated with Alzheimer’s disease

The vision, which is signed by scientists from international centers, has been published in Lancet Neurology

The Alfa Study, with the support of "la Caixa", has allowed to have a very extensive cohort of cognitively healthy participants

Marc Suárez-Calvet, researcher at the BBRC, is a co-author of this study led by University of Munich
