Researchers in the fight against Alzheimer's may have found a way to detect the disease early on. They discovered small toxins related to Alzheimer's, which builds up in the brain, attacking the brain's memory centers. Collaborators are trying to discover a way to protect the brain from these toxins, or even better, prevent them from building up in the first place. Dr. William Klein, an Alzheimer's disease researcher at Northwestern University, joins us with details.
