Researchers discovered that the brain folds that form during foetal development may have an impact on the age at which invididuals begin to suffer from frontotemporal dementia. In those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, this did not seem to have an impact on the illness.
the findings contribute to a dramatic increase in understanding of the disease. It was already known that genetics has a bearing on whether you will develop dementia, however, the link to how the brain develops in the foetal stage had not previously been made.
