Brain MRI predicts early dementia progression

New research in *Neurology* suggests that specific brain atrophy patterns seen on MRI scans can predict how fast early-onset dementia progresses. Researchers, led by Alexandra Touroutoglou from Harvard Medical School, found that atrophy in key areas associated with early Alzheimer's helps forecast the timeline of cognitive decline. This could mean earlier, more precise insights into how someone's brain health will change.
