Researchers at the University of Kentuckyโs Sanders-Brown Center on Aging are at the forefront of advancing dementia research with groundbreaking work on a condition known as LATE. โThis work is a testament to the importance of precision in dementia diagnosis. With these new criteria, we are not only addressing a critical gap in identifying LATE but also empowering clinicians and researchers to provide more targeted care and advance the search for effective treatments,โ said ๐๐ซ. ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐. @UKYMedicine @ResearchKY @NeuroscienceRPA @HillaryUKPR
