Chapter 8 A picture's worth a thousand words

My husband's MRI is the middle one - on the left is normal - on the right is advanced Alzheimer's.  This demonstrates how his hippocampus looks pretty good - where in Alzheimer's it would seriously deteriorated.  But his temporal lobes compared to a normal brain have significant spaces.

My husband's is in the middle, again with a comparison to a normal brain and one with Alzheimer's. 

This is the most telling - on the top is a normal 53 year old brain on the left, my husband's in the center, and a normal 86 year old brain on the right.  EEK!
