Brain network study reveals clues about dementia's behavior changes.

The article discusses a study conducted by University of Michigan researchers on the behavioral changes associated with dementia, particularly focusing on the role of tau protein in disrupting the brain's salience network. The study found a correlation between tau pathology, salience network dysfunction, and the severity of behavioral symptoms in individuals with early-stage dementia. The researchers suggest further exploration of this connection and potential interventions using brain stimulation techniques. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging and the Cure Alzheimer's Fund. [Extracted from the article]
