In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyze aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study—the largest […]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is on track to become one of the defining public health challenges of our time. Every three seconds, somewhere in the world, someone is diagnosed with dementia, and it’s usually Alzheimer’s disease.This […]
A University of Houston researcher found that recording brain activity while a person listens to a story may help diagnose primary progressive aphasia, a rare neurodegenerative syndrome that impairs language skills.This article was originally published […]
An international team of clinicians and researchers, led by the Center for Healthy Brain Aging’s Professor Perminder Sachdev and Dr. Adam Bentvelzen, has today unveiled new diagnostic criteria for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID)—a […]
