New Imaging Method Unveils Alzheimer’s Risk Gene

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have found a new genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease by monitoring people’s DNA and then visualizing their brain connections through an advanced scanning method. By identifying the genetic abnormalities that increase Alzheimer’s risk and switching them off with a new imaging method, Alzheimer’s  could be stopped in its tracks or have its onset delayed by many years.
