Premature Birth Linked to Older ‘Brain Age’ in Adulthood

A Neuroimaging study, conducted by King's College London researchers, reveals accelerated brain aging during adulthood for those born very prematurely. Researchers noted those born preterm tended to have smaller global gray matter volume and some brain structure changes in areas associate with spatial abilities and behavior control in adulthood.

Multi-Gene Test Predicts Alzheimer’s Better Than ApoE4 Alone

UCSF researchers have developed a new genetic risk factor test that takes into account more than 24 genetic variants, each of which are associated with a small risk of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers say the test is a better method to help identify preclinical Alzheimer's than testing for ApoE4 alone.
