UT Dallas Study Reveals Unique Brain Patterns in Early-Stage Alzheimer’s vs. Normal Aging

Gagan Wig, PhD

Scientists at The University of Texas at Dallas Center for Vital Longevity found that changes in brain network patterns in early-stage Alzheimer's differ from normal aging. Dr. Gagan Wig, the study's corresponding author, noted that certain Alzheimer's-related brain dysfunction beyond memory and attention might be detectable in mild cognitive impairment stages before an official diagnosis. This research suggests the potential for early detection and targeted interventions in Alzheimer's disease.
