CSF Tau and the Rey's AVLT Recency Ratio

In this podcast, Dr. Scott Sperling and student leader, Dr. Kritika Nayar, discuss the paper, Cross-sectional associations of CSF tau levels with Rey's AVLT: A recency ratio study, with the paper's author, Dr. Davide Bruno. In the paper, associations between traditional memory scores from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, a novel process-based memory score based on knowledge of serial position effect (i.e, the recency ratio), and CSF biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, were compared. The study has important implications for the identification of individuals at-risk of developing a neurodegenerative disorder.
