UCLA Uses Brain Imaging Tool, Stroke Risk Test to Determine Early Cognitive Decline

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) are using a brain-imaging technique and stroke risk test to determine early signs of cognitive decline in those who have not yet exhibited dementia symptoms. The imaging tool was developed at UCLA, and reveals the early development of plaques and tangles in the brain, key features of Alzheimer’s disease. It also is noted that there is a direct correlation between stroke risk and cognitive decline. Click here to read the full story.
