Vulnerability to financial scams in aging adults could be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, new research shows

Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

A brain region affected very early in Alzheimer’s disease may explain why some aging people are at greater risk of financial exploitation.

Duke Han and Laura Fenton examined the association between vulnerability to financial exploitation and thickness of a brain region called the entorhinal cortex in a group of 97 adults age 52 to 83 with no signs of cognitive impairment.

They say the region is critical for communication between the hippocampus and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
