- Novel algorithm detects early signals of Alzheimer's in motion behavior
Abnormal motion behavior and degeneration of the sleep-waking cycle are among the most severe behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. An early detection and even a prediction of these behaviors would allow a timely onset of interventions that aim to delay the manifestation or exacerbation of symptoms and reduce the need of institutionalized care.
- Epigenetic markers show promise in Alzheimer's disease
New evidence links epigenetic regulation with Alzheimer’s disease, which may one day lead to new early diagnostic tests and even novel treatment options for the most common form of dementia.
