Alzheimer's disease is marked by two key proteins in the brain: amyloid, which forms plaques, and tau, which forms tangles.

Mayo Clinic scientists have developed a new method to predict Alzheimer's risk decades before symptoms appear, using brain scans and genetics to estimate a 10-year likelihood.

Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect memory problems years before Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed. Unlike ...

Emory researchers discovered blood changes that could allow Alzheimer’s to be detected years before symptoms appear. The team is developing a blood test that may identify early risk and guide ...

Sept. 24 (UPI) --In a finding that could change the way Alzheimer's disease is treated, researchers have identified a brain biomarker that could allow the condition to be detected decades before ...

A new study has revealed that TSPO, a protein linked to brain inflammation, rises long before Alzheimer’s symptoms appear. Researchers tracked the protein in genetically engineered mice and confirmed ...

LANSING, Mich. (ABC 4) — On Real Possibilities with AARP Michigan, associate professor of translational neuroscience Dr. Scott Counts from Michigan State University discusses recent advances in ...

A Washington man appeared to be destined to develop Alzheimer’s disease — but against all genetic odds, he has eluded the common dementia for decades. Researchers at the Washington University School ...
