Description
A blood marker of amyloid buildup relates to a brain-wave ratio in older adults, Heewon Bae and co-authors report in a 2023 study. Oligomeric amyloid-beta in plasma is a promising candidate marker for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Electroencephalography is a potential tool for early detection. Whether EEG power ratios reflect amyloid burden, a primary mechanism behind cognitive impairment, was the open question behind the work.
Over five hundred adults aged sixty and older underwent EEG recording and a plasma test quantifying the oligomer marker. Participants were split into high and low marker groups by a cutoff value. The theta/beta ratio named in the title was compared between groups, alongside the theta/alpha ratio. Readers get a step toward cheap, non-invasive screening signals for Alzheimer's risk.
