The American scientists at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have discovered the second type of diabetes (T2D) affects the parts of the brain that are responsible for making motivation, memory and decision-making. It turned out that the disease disrupts the connection between the hippocampus and the front peeling (ACC) between the areas involved in spatial orientation. The study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience (JON).
The tests on rats showed that rodents with diabetes of type 2 have found a gift in the maze, but they did not stand, unlike healthy rats.
It turned out that the PCC of diabetes with diabetes causes weak signals in response to the target detection.
Scientists believe that these changes are similar to the early stages of Alzheimer's disease when the brain is already damaged, but the symptoms are not yet noticeable.
Discovery may explain the connection between T2DM and Demence and other neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, since ACC participates in the regulation of mood, its dysfunction can explain the high frequency of depression in patients with type 2 diabetes.
