RESEARCH
Dr Nortley deciphered the mechanism by which brain blood flow becomes reduced in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This had puzzled the scientific community for many years.
​
His findings attracted worldwide interest and he has been invited to speak internationally on his research.

SQUEEZING THE BRAIN’S BLOOD SUPPLY
Researchers at University College, London have discovered a reason for restricted blood flow—they’ve shown that amyloid beta can cause the cells surrounding capillaries to contract and to squeeze the vessels, narrowing them (Nortley et al, 2019).
