These subtleties allow more insight into how the plaques and tangles spread and ultimately how Alzheimer's might develop, he says. But now Dr. Gary Small at UCLA is using a brain-scan technology, along with patient information on Alzheimer's disease risk, to help diagnose brain aging before these symptoms appear. He holds the UCLA Parlow-Solomon chair on aging and is a professor at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. The study, published in the current issue of "Archives of General Psychiatry, says this might be a more accurate method for tracking brain aging.
