Doctors newly define another type of dementia that is sometimes mistaken for Alzheimer's
Doctors have newly outlined a type of dementia that could be more common than Alzheimer's among the oldest adults, according to a report published Tuesday in the journal Brain.
The disease, called LATE, may often mirror the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, though it affects the brain differently and develops more slowly than Alzheimer's. Doctors say the two are frequently found together, and in those cases may lead to a steeper cognitive decline than either by itself.
"We could go back and screen all the people that had failed their Alzheimer's disease therapies," Nelson said."But what we really need to do is go forward and try to get these people out of the Alzheimer's clinical trials -- and instead get them into their own clinical trials."Silverberg describes the new paper as"a roadmap" for research that could change as we come to discover more about the disease.
