MADISON, Wis. — Some groundbreaking research being done at the UW could greatly affect those at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
The goal of the research is to try to identify Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms start occurring, and researchers believe to do that, you must look at the brain.
That’s exactly what Dr. Sterling Johnson is doing. He’s been doing work where healthy people, both with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease and without, have MRI’s done while performing memory tasks.
