Charan Ranganath on the Search for Biomarkers to Detect Alzheimer's Disease Risk Early
Scientists at UC Davis are working to identify early indicators that would identify people with preclinical Alzheimer’s disease. The hope is that earlier detection — before the brain is significantly damaged — would allow for more successful interventions and better outcomes. In this episode, UC Davis psychology professor Charan Ranganath discusses the nature of memory and how he and his colleagues are working to find biomarkers in an area of the brain called the lateral entorhinal cortex.
