Several family members have suffered from this for years and I have almost no short term memory. Who do I contact, is there a study in progress etc. Please reply.

If you find out you have it, then what? Does early detection give you any better chance for treatment and cure?

ok how can i, at age 67 be tested? In order to be tested, do i need to show proof a family memeber has/had Alzheimer's disease?

this sounds great - my brother at 51 things he has the beginning stages and doesn't know and has no health insurance. My parent's died - my father at 66 after 14 years of it and my mother at 70 after about 7 years or more. This is a real thought to both my brother and myself. This test sounds like a way to ease our minds.

Is the FCSRT available for purchase as a computer application/software?

Is the test currently available beyond the initial study groups, either commercially or otherwise?
