Alzheimer disease [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021
Alzheimer disease (AD) is biologically defined by the presence of β-amyloid-containing plaques and tau-containing neurofibrillary tangles. AD is a genetic and sporadic neurodegenerative disease that causes an amnestic cognitive impairment in its prototypical presentation and non-amnestic cognitive impairment in its less common variants.

Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2018
The German psychiatrist and neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer was fascinated by the symptoms of Auguste D., a 50-year-old woman admitted to the Frankfurt Psychiatric Hospital in 1901 who suffered from memory disturbances, paranoia and progressive confusion. After her death and autopsy, Alzheimer described histological alterations in her brain that later

Epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease : occurrence, determinants, and strategies toward intervention

open access: yes, 2009
More than 25 million people in the world today are affected by dementia, most suffering from Alzheimer's disease. In both developed and developing nations, Alzheimer's disease has had tremendous impact on the affected individuals, caregivers, and society.

A data-driven examination of apathy and depressive symptoms in dementia with independent replication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Data used in preparation of this article were obtained from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database (adni.loni.usc.edu). As such, the investigators within the ADNI contributed to the design and implementation of ADNI and/or ...

Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesNetwork: Computation in Neural Systems, 2011
Over the last three decades, advances in biochemical pathology and human genetics have illuminated one of the most enigmatic subjects in biomedicine--neurodegeneration. Eponymic diseases of the nervous system such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases that were long characterized by mechanistic ignorance have yielded striking progress ...

Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2000
Use of valid diagnostic criteria is extremely important in the recognition of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease should be started on a cholinesterase inhibitor and possibly anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants (vitamin E or selegiline), and estrogen replacement therapy (for postmenopausal women).

Effects of age, amyloid, sex, and APOE ε4 on the CSF proteome in normal cognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Introduction: It is important to understand which biological processes change with aging, and how such changes are associated with increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. We studied how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics changed with age and tested if

Isoform-selective decrease of glycogen synthase kinase-3-beta (GSK-3β) reduces synaptic tau phosphorylation, transcellular spreading, and aggregation

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: It has been suggested that aberrant activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3-beta (GSK-3β) can trigger abnormal tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation, which ultimately leads to neuronal/synaptic damage and impaired cognition in Alzheimer ...

The Association of Amyloid-β and Tau With Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Clin Transl Neurol
ABSTRACT Objective To clarify the relative contributions of amyloid and tau to synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods We included 109 cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals from the Geneva Memory Center with available CSF synaptic biomarkers (neurogranin, SNAP‐25, GAP‐43). Participants were stratified according to amyloid (A)
