New Delhi, June 6 (IANS) In a significant finding, UK researchers have developed a new test that can predict dementia — affecting over 55 million people worldwide — nine years before a diagnosis.

The test is based on analyses of functional MRI (fMRI) scans and detects changes in the brain’s ‘default mode network’ (DMN) — which connects regions of the brain to perform specific cognitive functions. DMN is the first neural network to be affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. Charles Marshall from Queen Mary’s Wolfson In
