BioFINDER(Biomarkers For Identifying Neurodegenerative Disorders Early and Reliably)是瑞典的一项前瞻性纵向队列研究,旨在发现阿尔茨海默病和其他神经退行性疾病(如帕金森病)的关键病理机制。目前有超过1600名有轻度认知症状(2010年至2015年期间纳入)、痴呆和帕金森症状的患者以及认知健康(2010年至2014年期间纳入)的老年人。受试者每两年重复进行一次检查,包括MRI (fMRI, DTI, DKI, ASL和MPRAGE),脑脊液和血浆分析,淀粉样蛋白 PET和tau PET,详细的临床评估和神经心理学检查。研究的成果将用于开发准确和早期的诊断方法,确定新的治疗靶点,并了解不同病理和临床症状之间的联系。
