In 2004, researchers at the Banner Good Samaritan PET Center detected the earliest known brain changes in those at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. These brain abnormalities were identified in healthy young adults carrying a common susceptibility gene for Alzheimer’s disease more than four decades before the possible onset of memory and thinking problems.
