SEATTLE — New research at the Allen Institute in Seattle reveals cellular changes in the brain, providing a more detailed picture of how Alzheimer’s disease progresses.

Scientists analyzed 3.4 million cells from 84 donor brains and created a detailed map of the damage that occurs during the disease, which is the leading cause of dementia for people 65 and older.
