Scientists scan brains to unlock Alzheimer's secrets

NCT ID NCT03503331

Researchers want to understand how these plaques, along with a person's race and heart health factors, relate to memory and thinking problems. The study is observing 160 people already enrolled in a larger Alzheimer's research program to gather this information.
