🚨🧠📄🍾 🤪🥳 For some reason all our papers are coming our within 2 weeks!
Here’s the latest in @GreenJournal, on the relationships between 1) patterns #tau and #amyloid PET and 2) #Alzheimer’s clinical #heterogeneity and #APOE4.
1/n #Alzheimer is associated with #heterogeneous clinical presentations. Patients develop symptoms at different ages (even sporadic AD can start early) and clinical syndromes vary: not everyone shows a “typical” amnestic syndrome (which is not very sensitive nor specific to AD!)
