In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers used a unique brain scan to assess the levels of plaques and tangles -- the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease -- in adults with Down syndrome. The ...

Adequate assessment of plaque deposition levels in the brain of mouse models of Alzheimer disease (AD) is required in many core issues of studies on AD, including studies on the mechanisms underlying ...

BOSTON — Researchers are proposing a new way of classifying angiography findings on CT that they say may do a better job of distinguishing high-risk, unstable plaques from those that are less likely ...

A unique brain scan was used by UCLA researchers to assess the levels of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles — the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease — in adults with Down syndrome. Published in ...
