RealFeedApp Brain scans predict future memory problems
Stanford researchers found that functional MRI patterns in healthy older adults differ from those with Alzheimer's, enabling early prediction of memory loss.
- Field
- the brain and neuroscience
- What they did
- Researchers at Stanford studied resting brain activity using MRI and found that people with early Alzheimer's show different patterns compared to 'SuperAgers' (individuals with exceptional memory in old age).
- Why it matters
- This could help identify individuals who will develop the disease within the next few years, even before they start experiencing memory loss and forgetting important events.
