Unrecognized preclinical Alzheimer disease confounds rs-fcMRI studies of normal aging.

abstract：:There was a report of spongiform encephalopathy transmitted to Syrian hamsters by intracerebral inoculation with the blood buffy coat of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their unaffected first-degree relatives. We attempted to verify that report, taking measures to reduce the risk of contaminating samples wi...
