2005 Potamkin Prize goes to neurologists for research in early detection of Alzheimer's disease

l disease-modifying therapies, and have stimulated an intensive search for sensitive predictive biomarkers of AD."

Petersen's research has focused on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). "This represents the earliest clinical features of the disorder that will ultimately become Alzheimer's disease," Petersen said. "Currently, several treatment trials for MCI are being completed and reported. It is hoped that by identifying the earliest features of the Alzheimer's process before the disease is fully developed, we will be able to intervene at an earlier stage and prevent the damage from being done."

Growdon said, "Dr. Petersen's Potamkin recognition stems from his seminal contributions in establishing the concept of mild cognitive impairment as a bona fide diagnostic category on the continuum between normal aging and early dementia. The impact of MCI has been enormous, and has transformed clinical and basic science research."
