People who are not aware they are developing mild memory problems as they age may develop Alzheimer’s disease at a faster rate than those who do notice their memory is slipping. Studying the part of the brain that appraises and makes decisions could help predict who is at risk for rapidly advancing Alzheimer’s disease, according to a University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health researcher. “The disease is a significant public health concern with the number of cases rising dramatically, ” says Michele Ries, a neuropsychologist and researcher at the UW Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.3 million Americans live with the disease. There will be half a million new cases this year alone.
In Ries’ study, published by the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, a group of people with MCI were compared to a group of healthy older adults. All were given a battery of neuropsychological tests and performed a series of tasks during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Ries found that the brain’s cortical midline area showed activity during self-assessment exercises and that MCI participants with less insight into their impairment had considerably less brain activity than those who were aware of their mental difficulties. Ries says MCI is always a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease, but people with MCI don’t always develop Alzheimer’s. Read more: berthoudrecorder.com
