FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Alzheimer's disease
- A progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia, characterised by memory loss, cognitive decline and changes in behaviour. It is the core clinical focus of this congress.
- Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
- A stage between normal age-related cognitive change and dementia. People with MCI have measurable cognitive decline but usually retain daily function; MCI is a key topic for early diagnosis and prevention research presented at the event.
- Biomarker
- A measurable biological indicator, such as a protein level in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, or a signal on a brain scan. Biomarkers are central to diagnosing Alzheimer's disease before symptoms become severe and to monitoring treatment response.
- Amyloid beta
- A protein fragment that can clump into plaques in the brain. Amyloid beta is one of the main targets of diagnostic tests and disease-modifying therapies discussed at Alzheimer's congresses.
- Tau protein
- A protein that forms tangles inside brain cells in Alzheimer's disease. Tau biomarkers and tau-directed therapies are a major research area covered in scientific sessions.
- PET imaging
- Positron emission tomography, a scanning method that can visualise amyloid or tau deposits in the brain. PET imaging is used in research and specialist clinical settings to support diagnosis.
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis
- A lumbar puncture test that measures amyloid and tau levels in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF biomarkers can support the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
- Neuropsychology
- The study of brain-behaviour relationships, including standardised tests of memory, attention and language. Neuropsychologists play a key role in diagnosing cognitive disorders and are part of the congress audience.
- Disease-modifying therapy
- A treatment intended to slow or alter the underlying course of Alzheimer's disease, rather than only relieving symptoms. Clinical trial results and access issues for these therapies are a focus of the event.
- Care pathway
- The planned sequence of care and support for a person with dementia, from diagnosis through treatment, social care and end-of-life support. Care pathway design is relevant to the care home directors and service managers attending.
- Cognitive stimulation therapy
- A structured programme of activities and exercises designed to improve cognitive and social function in people with mild to moderate dementia. It is one of the non-drug interventions relevant to care providers at the event.
- Respite care
- Short-term relief for family caregivers, often provided in a care home or community setting. Respite care is part of the support-service landscape for Alzheimer's families.
