Abstract

This case study explores the intricate interplay between hereditary and adjustable factors in shaping the susceptibility of brain areas to aging and illness. Genetic predispositions inherited from ancestors, such as the APOE ε4 allele, establish a foundation for vulnerability to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. However, lifestyle choices and environmental exposures wield significant influence over brain health, mitigating or exacerbating genetic risk. Through a multidimensional approach encompassing neuroimaging, genetic analysis, and lifestyle interventions, this study elucidates the dynamic interplay between genetic predispositions and modifiable factors in shaping brain health outcomes.
