EEG Features of Working Memory Impairment in Alzheimer’s Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment
… working memory impairments in individuals with Alzheimer’s Dementia (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is well-accepted; however, the neurophysiological mechanisms contributing to these impairments have not been fully elucidated. Research has reliably shown that oscillatory activity, driven …

Phonemic and semantic fluency among individuals diagnosed with MCI, AD, and other dementias
… diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s dementia, and other dementias. Semantic memory is commonly affected early in Alzheimer’s dementia, and there is evidence that also applies to the type of MCI that has an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia. Therefore, …

Understanding and stratifying brain health through blood-based omics data
… For neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s dementia, damage is thought to occur in the brain decades prior to symptom presentation. Dysfunction at the blood brain barrier can facilitate leakage of proteins into the bloodstream in the early stages of neurological disease. …

Developing A Decision Tree To Address Behavioral And Psychological Symptoms Of Dementia In The Primary Care Setting
… Address Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in the Primary Care Setting There are 55 million people living with dementia worldwide. In the United States, there are approximately 7.2 million people living with Alzheimer’s dementia and these numbers are expected to rise. The U.S. …

Epidemiology of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in ageing: a complementary analysis of mental and brain health in three datasets
… complementary designs. These are the PREVENT Dementia and European Prevention of Alzheimer’s Dementia (EPAD) study cohorts, and routinely collected data from the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland’s Information Services Division (ISD). In PREVENT Dementia, participants aged 40-59 years are …

Social perception and neuropsychological deficits in mild cognitive impairment
… This decline is seen to hasten with the onset of dementia. The risk of dementia is greater in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). There has been limited research examining social perception in people with MCI and existing research has largely used static visual tasks, such as photographs …

In vivo pathology markers in tauopathies: prognostic and diagnostic implications
The neurodegenerative tauopathies include Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia (half due to tauopathy), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). In addition to abnormal accumulation of tau protein, they are each characterised by neuroinflammation, with increasing evidence that the …

The effect of Alzheimer's disease on cortical microcircuits
… to facilitate and accelerate new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. An improved mechanistic understanding of the human disease will facilitate new treatments. Human pathophysiological biomarkers sensitive to treatment and disease mechanisms will help accelerate such new treatments. To this end, …

Development of multifunctional compounds for the modulation and detection of amyloid beta species
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, associated with loss of memory and cognitive decline. An estimated 5.8 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer’s dementia currently. The presence of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is the …
