The prognosis for Alzheimer’s disease is much better when patients are diagnosed as early as possible. And there’s great news on that front. WTOP talked to two local doctors about an advancement in ...

The FDA recently cleared the Lumipulse blood test for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in people 55 and over with memory loss. The noninvasive Lumipulse blood test measures the levels of two ...

Mega-analysis shows widespread brain shrinkage, not just Alzheimer’s risk genes, predicts memory decline with age.

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

When doctors suspect Alzheimer's, they can order a blood test to learn whether a patient's brain contains the sticky amyloid plaques that are a hallmark of the disease. But the results of that test ...
