Brain scans reveal Age's role in Alzheimer's protein buildup
NCT ID NCT01095744
Summary
This study used brain imaging scans to understand how age affects the buildup of amyloid protein in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. Researchers compared younger-onset and older-onset Alzheimer's patients, along with people having specific language or vision problems linked to Alzheimer's. The goal was to identify age-specific patterns of brain deterioration to better understand different forms of the disease.
