Framingham Heart Study Brain Aging Program

"To bring greater diversity into an understanding of #AlzheimersDisease, the @Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative has launched a global research initiative, which I help lead," writes @BUMedicine's Rhoda Au. She shares next steps for this project. ⬇️ @statnews spr.ly/6011K5iVP

The study found participants diagnosed with #CTE post-mortem had shrinkage in regions of the brain associated with CTE, compared with healthy controls. "Those with CTE had shrinkage in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain." -Dr. Jesse Mez of @BUMedicine

During our symposium on the next-generation clinical care pathway for #AlzheimerDisease at #AAIC21, Dr. Rhoda Au reviewed the recent advances of digital technologies and their future potential in the evolving #AlzheimerDisease patient journey. Watch the presentation here.
