Diagnostic blind spot in clinical manifestations: anosognosia trajectory in preclinical Alzheimer's is linked to core pathophysiology, astrocytic reactivity, and structural changes in cognitive control and self‐referential brain regions
These results demonstrated that anosognosia's trajectory is linked to AD pathophysiology and structural brain changes in pre-MCI stages, underscoring the need for early detection methods beyond self-reported symptoms. Identifying high-risk individuals who may delay or not seek medical attention is critical for implementing objective diagnostics and prevention, still current criteria fail to explicitly address this challenge.
