A study published Wednesday in Nature Neuroscience sheds light into how amyloid-beta and tau proteins impact brain activity ...

Increasingly, researchers are looking to develop blood tests that could help make Alzheimer's diagnosis faster, more accurate ...

After more than a century since Alois Alzheimer's description of an “unusual illness of the cerebral cortex”, the development ...

Fortunately, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced that Medicare is set to expand its coverage of amyloid PET scans for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease ...

Amyloid-beta and tau proteins have long been associated with Alzheimer's disease. The pathological buildup of these proteins ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans are used to assess the accumulation of beta-amyloid deposits and tau tangles, as well changes in glucose metabolism in the brain. Magnetic resonance ...

The scientists looked at two brain scans and found that areas with more amyloid-beta showed increased brain activity, with ...

and it is sensitive enough to replace invasive and expensive spinal taps or PET brain scans. The three biomarkers are: p-Tau 217 is a biomarker for Alzheimer-related processes. This p-Tau 217 test ...
