Alzheimer's questionnaire: Test that can reveal if YOU are at risk
The Alzheimer's Questionnaire, which is almost 90 per cent accurate, measures mild cognitive impairment – the slight memory lapses that can be a precursor of the disease.

How Alzheimer's Disease Spreads
Two new studies provide clues to how Alzheimer's disease spreads in the brain.
US study finds Alzheimer's spreads like infection
A new US study has found that Alzheimer's disease spreads from one part of the brain to another like an infection, a discovery that could aid the development of treatments to slow its progress.
Study gives new clues on how Alzheimer's spreads
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Alzheimer's disease appears to spread in a predictable pattern, infecting brain cell after brain cell as the disease spreads along linked circuits known as synapses, according to a new study. The findings, published on Wednesday in the online journal PloS One, help confirm a new understanding of how the disease gets from one region of the brain to another
