Alzheimer’s disease (AD) presents a growing challenge in contemporary health care, with escalating prevalence and a significant burden imposed on patients, families, and health care systems globally. Early and accurate diagnosis of AD is essential for effective support and treatment. However, many clinicians may not realize the importance of early diagnosis or understand the utility of new biomarker tests for AD pathology.
In this first installment of a two-part Journal Club series, An Expanded View of Alzheimer’s Disease Neuropathology: Translation to the Early Identification of Disease, expert faculty will present the latest information on the neuropathological changes associated with AD, their relevance to the cognitive and functional decline of early AD, as well as the role of phosphorylated tau biomarkers as early indicators of both amyloid and tau accumulation.
