White Matter Changes Could Predict Cognitive Decline in Alzheimerās Disease
Alzheimerās disease is diagnosed based on abnormal pathology of two proteins in the brain: amyloid and tau. Research suggests, however, that other factors may also play a role. In a paper published online this week in the journal Neurology, a team of investigators at the Athinoula A. Martinos Cen...
Study Confirms Role of Structural Connectivity in Spread of Alzheimerās Disease Pathology
In Alzheimerās, the proteins amyloid-beta and tau begin to accumulate in the brain many years before any clinical signs of the disease are evident. Propagation of these proteins throughout the brain has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimerās, but exactly how they spread has long been a m...
