A new behavioral test to detect early risk of Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition that damages a person’s ability to think, remember, and perform basic functions.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Alzheimer’s affects more than 6 million Americans, mostly ages 65 and older. Though the neurological damage from the disease is irreversible, early detection and intervention has been shown to slow its progression.
