Fox News: New Alzheimer’s research reveals ‘quiet’ phase of the disease, before symptoms appear
Researchers led by the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle and University of Washington Medicine have identified cellular changes in the brains of people with the disease — and a timeline of when they occur.
Newsweek: Alzheimer's Hidden 'Early' Brain Damage Phase Revealed by Neuroscientists
Alzheimer's disease damages the brain before any symptoms begin to appear, new research suggests. This is part of a new two-step model of Alzheimer's progression, which features an early "silent" stage of brain damage.
