Washington [US], February 5 (ANI): The early prognosis of high-risk older adults for amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using non-invasive and sensitive neuro markers, is key for early prevention of Alzheimer s disease, suggested the findings of a new study.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer s Disease, by researchers at the University of Kentucky establishes what they believe is a new way to predict the risk years before a clinical diagnosis. Their work shows that direct measures of brain signatures during mental activity are more sensitive and accurate predictors of memory decline than current standard behavioural testing.
