Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia are two brain disorders that typically affect people at very different stages of life with schizophrenia usually emerging in younger people.

Today programme presenter Mishal Husain spoke to Dr Gwenaelle Douaud, who led the research.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Tuesday 25 November.
