An artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of genetic, neurological, cardiovascular and other data from multiple studies has found three distinct patterns of brain aging and dementia risk outcomes. Researchers recently identified two subgroups with normal and accelerated brain aging. These findings, published in JAMA Psychiatry, suggest a path to better predict who will develop Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, and could lead to more efficient future research into brain aging and dementia. The study was conducted by an international collaborative team that included NIA-funded researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and scientists from the NIA Intramural Research Program. The researchers used…

The second installment of Deloitte’s “xTech Futures” series focuses on biotechnology as one of many “xTech” domains – a fast-paced and transformative technology that may become a prerequisite for future business strategies.
