This research study focuses on investigating early signs of Alzheimer’s Disease in healthy elderly individuals who have normal cognitive function. The study uses a specialized imaging technique called Tau PET scanning to examine brain changes that might occur before any symptoms of memory problems appear. The study specifically looks at twins to better understand how genetic and environmental factors influence these early brain changes.
The study involves the use of Flortaucipir, also known as LY3191748, which is given as an injection into a vein. This substance helps to create detailed images of certain proteins in the brain called tau proteins, which are associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. The imaging procedure will be performed alongside another type of brain scan that looks for a different protein called amyloid.
The research aims to understand how tau and amyloid proteins accumulate in the brain of people who don’t have memory problems, and how genetic factors might influence these changes over time. The study will use brain imaging to track these changes and compare them with other markers related to early Alzheimer’s Disease. Participants will receive a single dose of the imaging substance through an injection into a vein during their scan.
