A hidden brain signal may reveal Alzheimer’s long before diagnosis

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Using a noninvasive brain scanning technique and a custom analysis tool, they detected subtle changes in electrical signals tied to memory processing years before diagnosis. The findings point to a new way of spotting Alzheimer’s early—by listening directly to how neurons behave.

Coping with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) by Mary Jordan, 2020

Adults are being increasingly diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and this book provides strategies for concerned individuals to help slow the onset of the condition. Around 50% of adults with MCI go on to develop dementia, but research shows that self-help through early intervention and preventative measures can hugely slow this down.

One-Minute Speech Test Could Help Assess Dementia Risk

Analyzing temporal changes in people's speech could be a simple way to detect mild cognitive impairment for further assessment of dementia risk.

Most of my patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia have no idea that they have memory issues. Unlikely that #Trump would recognize (or admit) it either.

“If I was -- if I felt diminished, OK, let's use a nice term -- if I felt diminished or declined in any way, I think I'd know it. And I think I'd say, I'm not running.”

Trump is fully in control of his mental capacity because, um, he says he is fully in control of his mental capacity. Got it!

So What

What Is #MildCognitiveImpairment
And How Is It Diagnosed?

“Millions of Americans are thought to have #MCI, though exact numbers are hard to pin down because experts say the condition is underdiagnosed. There are likely several reasons for that: M.C.I. can be tricky to identify during a primary care visit, when physicians typically only have 15 minutes or so with a patient. People may also be scared to disclose their concerns to a doctor, or might not even realize that they have a problem.”

Your mind is a precious, fragile thing,
That can be lost to dementia's sting.
A deep learning framework,
Will help predict who's in danger.
Alzheimer's disease it may foretell,
And ward us of its sinister spell.
