New MRI technique may predict rate of progress and prion-like spread of dementias | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

A new technique for analyzing brain images may make it possible to predict the rate of progression and physical path of many degenerative brain diseases, using just one magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image...

 

The technique also supports mounting evidence that dementias spread through the brain along specific neuronal pathways in the same manner as prion diseases."
