'Memory robber' Alzheimer's sign

Clusters of "memory-robbing" proteins could be one of the earliest signs of degenerative brain disorder Alzheimer's, scientists have suggested.
People at high risk of the disease show subtle signs years before the onset of more serious clinical symptoms.
This US study suggests that an early form of the plaque-forming protein seen in Alzheimer's affects memory.
Experts said the finding, published in Nature, could lead to a test to detect early signs of the disease. 'Memory robber' Alzheimer's sign
