Summary

This study looks at whether simple eye-tracking tests and MRI brain scans can detect very early signs of Alzheimer's disease in healthy older adults. Researchers will study 100 people (half with a genetic risk factor called APOE4) to see if changes in the brain's 'locus coeruleus' area can predict tau protein buildup, a hallmark of Alzheimer's. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to diagnose Alzheimer's earlier, before memory problems begin.
