Scientists map toxic protein in living Alzheimer's brains

NCT ID NCT03809351

Summary

This study uses special brain scans to measure and map a harmful protein called tau in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will scan 160 participants already enrolled in an ongoing Alzheimer's research program to see how tau buildup relates to race, heart health risks, and thinking abilities. The goal is to better understand how Alzheimer's develops differently in various groups, not to test treatments.
