Brain marker for predicting Alzheimer’s disease

Duke University Medical Center scientists have used imaging technology to identify a new marker that may help identify those at greatest risk for cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The study focused on people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that affects an estimated four to five million individuals in the United States. People with MCI are at increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease in the future and approximately 30-50 percent of MCI subjects will develop Alzheimer’s if followed over a three- to five-year period……..
