Description
Cynthia Felix and co-authors present a 2025 study of a quick test of thinking skills in adults who still score as unimpaired. Doctors want to spot who may move toward mild loss before clear signs appear. Brain scans can show the two proteins tied to Alzheimer's disease even at this stage. The team sorted eighty-eight older adults by whether those proteins were present. All took a widely used thirty-point test of skills.
People with both proteins present scored lower on the full test than those with neither. The gap showed most in the part of the test that asks people to recall words after a delay. That part is meant to tap memory, a skill often hit early in the disease. The authors say even a blunt, quick test may carry early clues. Splitting people by scan results helps those faint clues stand out.
