Results of a new study indicate a strong link between the loss of the neuronal receptor LR11and onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease. The findings also show that levels of LR11 in the brain tissue reflect the severity of cognitive impairment and may predict which individuals will progress to Alzheimer's disease.

- Scientists can predict psychotic illness in up to 80 percent of high-risk youth
01-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
Which at-risk teens will cross the line from having risk factors for psychosis to actually developing a psychotic illness? Researchers have improved the ability to predict who will cross the threshhold from 35 percent accuracy to 65-80 percent accuracy, based on the specific combinations of risk factors a teen has. This level of accuracy is comparable to that for major medical diseases, like diabetes.
