Oxygen and Alzheimer’s: Dr. Nancy Ruiz on the Vascular Connection
Q: Can you explain the importance of the oxygenation in the blood?
Oxygen is crucial for brain function, as the brain needs a lot of oxygen for neurons and glia to function properly. Deficits in oxygenation and blood flow can lead to neurodegeneration.
