- A precaution. But it will allow us
- to see if there are any lesions

- or any signs of a stroke. Just
- find out what is going on in there.

- Yeah-

- BENJAMIN: Now, I don't see
- anything abnormal in your MRI.
- 329
- 00:19:42,096 --> 00:19:44,389
- No cerebral vascular disease,
- 330
- 00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:47,309
- no evidence of strokes, no masses.
- Thank God.
- 331
- 00:19:47,518 --> 00:19:50,229
- And your blood work came back
- completely clear,
- 332
- 00:19:50,438 --> 00:19:54,816
- but what worries me are
- the memory tests that I sent you for.
- 333
- 00:19:55,026 --> 00:19:59,279
- You have sporadic memory impairment
- totally out of proportion to your age.
- 334
- 00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:03,951
- And there is evidence of decline
- in your level of mental function.
- 335
- 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,162
- I think we should do a PET scan.
- It's similar to an MRI,
- 336
- 00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:09,706
- but it can pick up things
- at the molecular level.
- 337
- 00:20:09,916 --> 00:20:14,044
- I know what a PET scan is. What
- in particular would you be looking for?
- 338
- 00:20:14,837 --> 00:20:19,424
- I wanna see if the results are consistent
- with Alzheimer's disease.
- 339
- 00:20:19,634 --> 00:20:22,970
- Now, it would be rare
- for someone as young as yourself,
- 340
- 00:20:23,304 --> 00:20:26,390
- but you do fit the criteria.
- 341

- Last time, I asked you
- to bring a close relative.
- 342
- 00:20:30,937 --> 00:20:33,313
- I really didn't think
- that would be necessary.
- 343
- 00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:36,275
- Okay. But next time, for sure.
- 344
- 00:20:36,484 --> 00:20:37,901
- Okay?
- 345
- 00:20:39,237 --> 00:20:41,863
- "Enhancement of endogenous levels
- of endorphin

- 408
- 00:25:09,966 --> 00:25:12,342
- You can clearly see in here-
- 409
- 00:25:12,552 --> 00:25:16,388
- The red areas are high
- in beta-amyloid.
- 410
- 00:25:16,764 --> 00:25:20,517
- The buildup has probably been
- ongoing for several years.

- I'm sorry.
- 412
- 00:25:24,105 --> 00:25:26,815
- There is evidence
- of high amyloid in older people
- 413
- 00:25:27,024 --> 00:25:29,276
- with normal cognitive function,
- correct?
- 414
- 00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,904
- Yes, but not in someone
- as young as Alice.
- 415
- 00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:35,865
- Well, at least
- it would be extremely rare.
- 416
- 00:25:36,075 --> 00:25:39,536
- High amyloid is associated
- with conditions other than Alzheimer's.
- 417
- 00:25:39,745 --> 00:25:41,871
- Unfortunately, in Alice's case,
- 418
- 00:25:42,081 --> 00:25:45,542
- this corroborates the clinical
- symptoms that she is presenting.

- Hold on a minute, please.
- Actually, I was gonna suggest that.

- In a case like this,
- with the onset being so early,
- 422
- 00:25:55,761 --> 00:26:00,473
- we would like to check for presenilin
