"Language Processing Issues as an Early Indicator of Alzheimer's"

A study has found that individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) struggle with processing complex language, particularly sentences with ambiguous references, independent of their memory deficits, suggesting a potential early biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. This insight into linguistic deficits offers new avenues for early detection and treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond memory performance to identify early signs of cognitive decline.
