Differences in Early Alzheimer's Brain Markers Across Diverse Populations Appear in Advanced PET Brain Scans

Differences in early Alzheimer's brain markers across diverse populations appear in advanced PET brain scans

A team of researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has identified important differences in how early Alzheimer's disease-related brain changes appear across racial and ethnic groups, underscoring the need for more inclusive approaches to studying and diagnosing the disease. Their findings appear in Alzheimer's & Dementia.

USC Study Uncovers Variations in Early Alzheimer’s Brain Markers Among

A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has unveiled critical insights into how Alzheimer’s disease manifests differently across diverse racial and ethnic populations. This research challenges existing paradigms largely based on studies of non-Hispanic white individuals, highlighting the necessity for more inclusive…
