Study provides evidence of amyloidosis in the brains of some World Trade Center responders

Closing in on 25 years since the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks, WTC responders continue to suffer long-term effects from their exposures at Ground Zero. One issue of possible growing concern is signs of early dementia in responders. The results of a new brain imaging study led by researchers at Stony Brook Medicine indicates a link between WTC exposure duration and the presence of amyloid in the brain.
