Neuroimaging Markers for Determining Former American Football Players at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease

NFL players, by virtue of their exposure to traumatic brain injury (TBI), are at higher risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) than the general population. Early recognition and intervention before the onset of clinical symptoms could potentially avert/delay the long-term consequences of these diseases. Given that AD is thought to have a long pre-clinical incubation period, the aim of the current research was to determine …
