Back when I was troubleshooting circuits, I believed in universal blueprints. But recent neurobiology is tearing that up.</p>
<p dir="auto">Research from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_L._Buckner" rel="nofollow ugc">Randy Buckner</a> lab and others in connectomics shows something hauntingly specific: Alzheimer’s pathology doesn’t just randomly chew through gray matter.
