Transcripts from Ronald Reagan's press conferences could aid Alzheimer's research
Scientists studying the speech patterns of Ronald Reagan have detected subtle variations in how the former president spoke linked to the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report by The New York Times. The new analysis, say the researchers, could help scientists develop early-warning systems for Alzheimer’s and other neurological conditions, but isn’t proof that Reagan’s time in office was adversely affected by the disorder. The relevant markers in his speech, however, are detectable years before Reagan was officially diagnosed with the condition in 1994.
