Brain scans reveal Age's role in Alzheimer's protein buildup
NCT ID NCT01095744
Summary
This study used brain scans to understand how a person's age affects the buildup of a sticky protein called amyloid in the brain, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers compared 60 people with different forms of Alzheimer's, including rare types affecting vision or speech, to healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if the amount and location of this protein differs between people who develop the disease early versus later in life.
