Potential tests for Alzheimer's Articles

1: Young-Adult Writing Ability -- the Nun Study

In February 1996, University of Kentucky researchers made headlines with a controversial study suggesting that analysis of people's writing ability during their 20s could predict with astonishing accuracy their development of Alzheimer's disease 60 years later.

2: Gene & Protein Tests

3: Brain Scans & Pupil Dilation

Some possible -- though not definitive -- tests for Alzheimer's disease include brain scans and pupil dilation.
