Summary
This study uses special brain scans to understand how a protein called tau relates to memory problems in older adults. Researchers will scan 150 people with normal memory and those with mild memory issues to see how tau builds up in specific brain areas over time. The goal is to improve early detection methods for Alzheimer's disease by linking brain scan findings with memory changes.
