White Matter Changes Could Predict Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s 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...
