AI program can tell how fast your brain is really aging - revealing risks for Alzheimer's - Study Finds

How old is your brain, really? Just like people who look older than they really are, scientists say a person's brain can age faster than the rest of their body. With that in mind, researchers at USC have created an artificial intelligence program which can accurately tell how old someone's brain is -- while also pointing out warning signs for Alzheimer's disease. The AI program analyzes MRI brain scans, looking for signs of cognitive decline which have a link to neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's. Brain aging is one of the most reliable markers for neurodegenerative disease risk.
