This is a YouTube video titled "AI Can Now Detect Alzheimer’s Before Symptoms Start" containing a conversation recorded in October 2025. The dialogue features Gary Brecka discussing with another speaker about the use of artificial intelligence to detect hippocampal shrinkage as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.
I was really fascinated by it. So talk to me a little bit about the shrinking hippocampus.
Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so preemptive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease before it's too late. And there's a couple of incredible innovations in that field right now. One is we can use artificial intelligence to look at the hippocampal volume. Hippocampus is the memory center of your brain. And before you start losing your memories, your hippocampus starts shrinking. And then we can compare that volume through an MRI of the brain to. To people that have normal cognitive powers in your same age group. Right. And so then we know that your hippocampus is maybe a little bit smaller than somebody else. And then we can start taking proactive steps to reverse that tide, to right the ship. Because like you said, the earlier you. Right. That ship, the easier it is to sail it in the right direction. Right. And it gets too hard when you've already been diagnosed with full blown Alzheimer's.
