An illustration that visually represents the connection between traffic pollution (fine particulate matter, PM2.5) and Alzheimer's disease pathology, without using any text or numbers. The image features two halves: on one side, a brain under stress, depicted with dark, polluted clouds surrounding it, symbolizing the negative impact of PM2.5 exposure. On the other side, a brain in a cleaner environment, surrounded by fresh, clean air and greenery, representing the protective effect against Alzheimer's disease. The contrast between the two halves highlights the study's findings on air quality and its importance for brain health.

Topline:

Groundbreaking research demonstrates a significant association between traffic-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, offering critical insights into preventive strategies and the importance of air quality for patients and healthcare professionals.
