Tau PET Imaging May Help Identify People with Pre-symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease can now be studied in living people. Mass General researchers imaged cognitively normal people who are destined to develop AD due to a rare genetic mutation. Their goal: to discover how soon brain changes are present before symptoms begin and how soon preventive treatments could be initiated.
