New Alzheimer’s research reveals ‘quiet’ phase of the disease, before symptoms appearNew Alzheimer’s research reveals ‘quiet’ phase of the disease, before symptoms appearNew details have emerged about how Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain. Using machine learning technology, researchers compared the cells, genes and DNA of the Alzheimer’s brain samples to maps of the normal brain generated by the Allen Institute. The study identified "two distinct phases" of Alzheimer’s disease. Looking ahead, Fontana says it will be important to further investigate the "quiet" phase to confirm how it’s linked to the better-known biomarkers of Alzheimer’s, such as amyloid and tau.
