Scientists have demonstrated that even in merely subjective cases of memory deterioration changes may be visible in certain brain structures. The study supports the model whereby subjective memory impairment can be the first manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. Although not every individual with subjective memory impairment develops Alzheimer's disease, almost every patient with Alzheimer's disease initially develops subjective memory impairment that has not been possible to objectify until now.
