The elusive relationship between retinal anatomy and brain amyloid
Dilraj S Grewal, Sharon Fekrat
TL;DR
This commentary discusses a study exploring how retinal structure and blood vessels relate to amyloid buildup in the brain.
Contribution
The commentary highlights a novel approach to understanding brain amyloid through retinal imaging.
Findings
Retinal microstructure may reflect brain amyloid burden.
Microvasculature changes in the retina could indicate early signs of amyloid accumulation.
Abstract
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Retinal microstructure and microvasculature in association with brain amyloid burden’, by Egle et al. (https://doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/fcaf013).
