Brain thinning detected before dementia in people under 65

An observational study of 292 people under 65 linked two positive Alzheimer’s-related spinal-fluid tests to earlier and more extensive thinning.An observational study of 292 people under 65 linked two positive Alzheimer’s-related spinal-fluid tests to earlier and more extensive thinning.

Normative brain models reveal dopamine shifts in early amyloid

In cognitively unimpaired older adults, intermediate amyloid burden showed lower dopamine-transporter deviation scores than amyloid-positive status…In cognitively unimpaired older adults, intermediate amyloid burden showed lower dopamine-transporter deviation scores than amyloid-positive status, with an adjusted difference of −0.582.
