Researchers may have clues about brain changes and Alzheimer's
Scientists may have clues to how long Alzheimer's exists in the brain before symptoms appear, new research suggests. A large study in China tracked middle-aged and older adults for 20 years, using regular brain scans, spinal taps and other tests; researchers said people who developed Alzheimer's had higher levels of beta-amyloid, a hallmark of the disease, in their spinal fluid 18 years prior to diagnosis. Experts believe that understanding the earliest beginnings of Alzheimer's can both focus and speed up the discovery of new targets for treatments and, importantly, open up a window of opportunity to prevent the memory and thinking symptoms of dementia.
