  • New scientific research is demonstrating that the eyes are not just the windows of the soul, but also provide early warning signs of cognitive health disease like Alzheimer's
  • Physicians can see directly into the nervous system by looking into the back of the eye at the retina & the optic nerve
  • Now scientists at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have discovered that the eye provides innovative new clues & potential new therapies for the onset of Alzheimer's before - in fact years before - any symptoms occur
  • The Ceders-Sinai team have identified protein profiles & structural changes in the retina associated with Alzheimer's
  • Specifically, the changes in the retina correlate with changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer's
  • This is very promising research to identify and possibly treat Alzheimer's before symptoms manifest themselves.
