Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Using a noninvasive brain scanning technique and a custom analysis tool, they detected subtle changes in electrical signals tied to memory processing years before diagnosis. The findings point to a new way of spotting Alzheimer’s early—by listening directly to how neurons behave.

      Well at least people will have an advanced notice and not just get it. I would rather know ahead of time so I can get shit ready before I die. (Look for heroin and other downers so I can blast off to death and not die over and over)
