New research suggests radiation exposure could trigger a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease in the brain, adding to concerns about the neurological effects of radiation from medical treatments, occupational settings or space travel. The finding points to possible mechanisms linking radiation to dementia-like changes, though scientists caution more work is needed to confirm the risk in humans.
