Detecting cognitive changes in preclinical Alzheimer's disease: A review of its feasibility

Detecting cognitive changes in preclinical Alzheimer's disease: A review of its feasibility:

Dementia Big
Significant progress has been made in characterizing the biological changes occurring in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Cognitive dysfunction has been viewed, however, as a late-stage phenomenon, despite increasing evidence that changes may be detected in the decades preceding dementia. In the absence of comprehensive evidence-based guidelines for preclinical cognitive assessment, longitudinal cohort and neuroimaging studies have been reviewed to determine the temporal order and brain biomarker correlates of specific cognitive functions.
