Mother’s X chromosome could be responsible for brain ageing; study reveals

A new study reveals that the maternal X chromosome may accelerate brain ageing and increase Alzheimer's risk. Experiments on female lab mice showed that older mice with only the maternal X chromosome had significant cognitive decline. This research highlights genetic roles in brain health and could lead to new strategies against neurodegenerative diseases.
