Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology disrupts functional brain connectivity long before symptoms emerge. African Americans face elevated AD risk, yet underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Genetic risk differs by ancestry: APOE-ε4 strongly predicts late-onset AD in European ancestry, whereas ABCA7 rs115550680 confers substantial risk in African ancestry. Yet, how these variants influence neural function in African...
