The overall goal of the UCLA Aging & Memory Loss Research (AMRP) Program is to understand in late life depression and age-related memory loss and
currently focuses on early detection and prevention of Alzheimer's disease. Emerging therapies for
Alzheimer's disease are more likely to slow the disease process rather than to reverse existing brain
damage. Thus, identifying persons with only mild mental impairment, who are at risk for developing the
disease, will facilitate anti-dementia treatments before extensive brain damage occurs. Using positron
emission tomography (PET), a method of imaging biological processes, we have demonstrated a specific brain pattern for
Alzheimer's disease that can be identified several years before the clinician is able to confirm the diagnosis.
This program allows authorized investigators to view CT, MRI, PET resliced and PET parametric patient images and analyzed information (blood curve, Ecat data). It also allows dbase administrator to create, update and maintain dbase.
