102 - Cognitive or Clinical Indicators of Alzheimer's Disease Part 1: September 2020

This episode, hosted by Naila, covers papers published in September 2020 that use cognitive testing as a diagnostic tool. These studies vary from validating and comparing existing tests, to refining them for specific applications, to correlating cognition with AD biomarkers. You’ll learn a bit about the variety of cognitive tests used, and how researchers are constantly building on existing tools to better predict the risk and progression of cognitive decline.
