By modeling the rise of phosphorylated tau in cognitively unimpaired individuals, investigators move from predicting if to predicting when. &amp;nbsp; \u23f3 Implication: smarter prevention trials, earlier intervention windows, and biologically timed enrollment. &amp;nbsp; \u26a0\ufe0f Not ready for routine screening\u2014but a compelling proof of concept. &amp;nbsp; The era of temporal precision in neurodegeneration may have begun.
