A recent report from Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany explores the relationship between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study focuses on the effects of T2D on the hippocampus, a region of the brain associated with memory and learning. The researchers found that T2D-like conditions in an animal model led to decreased hippocampal volume, impaired synaptic plasticity, and increased vulnerability to amyloid-beta, a hallmark of AD. The study suggests that changes in amylin receptor signaling may play a role in these effects. Further research is needed to better understand the connection between T2D and AD.
