This may lead to a misdiagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in older adults.Read More
FeaturedNeurologyNeuroscience·May 9, 2022·4 min readQuantifying Cognitive Decline in Dogs Could Help Humans With Alzheimer’s DiseaseResearchers have developed a set of tests that can quantify cognitive changes in aging dogs and accurately detect canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome, a disorder with similar pathology and outcomes as Alzheimer's disease in humans. The findings show promise for both humans and dogs in understanding Alzheimer's progression.Read More
