Alzheimer's disease researchers say they've built a method using simple blood tests to predict if and when someone may show ...

Scientists discovered that certain blood proteins linked to brain injury and inflammation strongly correlate with early signs of memory and cognitive decline, especially in Hispanic and Latino adults.

A simple at-home brainwave test can detect signs of memory impairment linked to Alzheimer's disease years before clinical diagnosis is typically possible. This feat has been demonstrated by ...

Finger-prick blood tests at home detected Alzheimer's biomarkers nearly as well as standard methods. The DROP-AD study suggested that dried blood spots could revolutionize screening approaches for ...

La Jolla researchers say there is a pressing need for cost-effective tests for markers of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia in groups considered underrepresented in studies — particularly ...

A new study suggests a simple blood test could tell who is at higher risk for rapid cognitive decline with Alzheimer's. The study found that people with higher insulin resistance were up to four times ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers in Sweden and the United States assessed whether a brief self-administered digital cognitive battery, alone or combined with a ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a digital cognitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease that is intended for use in primary care. “This digital test, which patients perform ...

A new blood test could speed up diagnosis and treatment for people dealing with early memory or thinking changes. The FDA has cleared Elecsys pTau181, the first blood test for use in primary care to ...

Loss of self-confidence and difficulty coping with problems are amongst the red flags linked to increased risk of declining brain function ...

Measurements of phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) in dried plasma spots (DPS) identified people with Alzheimer's disease nearly as well as venous blood, data from the DROP-AD project suggested.
