The National Alzheimer's Plan kicked off in May 2012 as a collaborative effort from the U.S. government and Alzheimer's researchers to find ways to diagnose the disease earlier and develop better ...

It’s a groundbreaking step forward, but these scans are also showing that the disease develops differently in Black patients.

Now, a new study suggests that it may be possible to catch Alzheimer’s early with a single brain scan. Even though Alzheimer’s disease can’t be cured, early detection can help patients get ...

(CBS) Knowing Alzheimer's disease may be ravaging your brain five, 10, even 20 years before you start forgetting names, getting lost on familiar roads, or forgetting how to balance your checkbook ...

USC researchers have found a promising new brain scan marker that could better detect Alzheimer’s risk — but only for some.

For the first time, scientists have used brain scans to track the development of Alzheimer's disease in adults with no symptoms. The new technique may lead to early detection and treatment of the ...

Alzheimer’s disease has always been difficult to diagnose — the only way to identify it definitively is by autopsying the brain after death — but scientists may now have an easier way to ...

A Brain Scan May Predict Alzheimer’s. Should You Get One? One expert warns of “unintended downsides,” including overuse of only modestly effective medications.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia and a progressive neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells over time. A new study shows how artificial intelligence (AI ...

The disease was later named after him. Seventy years later, the first computerised tomography (CT) brain scans were developed that revealed shrinkage of the brain due to loss of brain cells in people ...

New blood test can identify Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms. Dr. Marc Siegel on a new blood test that can accurately identify Alzheimer’s disease years before a brain scan.
