This project integrates advanced multimodal neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers to predict Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology and hallmark neuropsychological symptoms before dementia onset in persons with Down syndrome. The results will inform treatment development and enhance understanding of Alzheimer’s disease in the general population.
