Dementia in 2014. Towards early diagnosis in Alzheimer disease

Agneta Nordberg. Nat Rev Neurol. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Improved neuroimaging and molecular markers of Alzheimer disease (AD) have aided diagnosis of AD in the very early stages, and have facilitated differential diagnosis between AD and other neurodegenerative disorders with dementia. The finding that some older individuals can show amyloid-β pathology while remaining cognitively intact raises important questions regarding prevention strategies.
