Advanced Brain Imaging Technology Reveals Early Diagnostic Clues For Alzheimer's Dise

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. New and accurate techniques for early diagnosis are critical. Pravat K. Mandal, PhD, and his colleagues have developed a completely non-invasive brain imaging technique to measure specific brain chemical changes. This provides a signature of the early stages of AD from the hippocampal region of the brain. Their work is reported in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. "Alzheimer's disease has become a silent tsunami in the aging population," says Dr...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mnt/h...~4/KqicK27ur1k
