Why musical memory can be preserved in advanced Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Musical memory is relatively preserved in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. In a 7 Tesla functional MRI study employing multi-voxel pattern analysis, Jacobsen et al.

Psychosis in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the incidence, treatment and genetics of psychosis in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).Recent FindingsPsychosis in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has an incidence of ~ 10% per year. There is limited evidence regarding psychological interventions. Pharmacological management has focused

Resistance to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease in an APOE3 Christchurch homozygote: a case report. [PDF]
We identified a PSEN1 (presenilin 1) mutation carrier from the world's largest autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease kindred, who did not develop mild cognitive impairment until her seventies, three decades after the expected age of clinical onset.

Applications of neuroimaging to disease-modification trials in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Critical to development of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the ability to detect clinical or pathological change over time. Clinical outcome measures typically used in therapeutic trials have unfortunately proven to be relatively variable ...

Early affective changes and increased connectivity in preclinical Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
IntroductionAffective changes precede cognitive decline in mild Alzheimer's disease and may relate to increased connectivity in a "salience network" attuned to emotionally significant stimuli.

Complement protein levels in plasma astrocyte-derived exosomes are abnormal in conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease dementia. [PDF]
IntroductionLevels of complement proteins (CPs) in plasma astrocyte-derived exosomes (ADEs) that are abnormal in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have not been assessed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI).MethodsParticipants (n = 20 per group) had either MCI ...

Misidentification subtype of alzheimer's disease psychosis predicts a faster cognitive decline [PDF]
The presence of psychosis is associated with more rapid decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the impact of paranoid (persecutory delusions) and misidentification (misperceptions and/or hallucinations) subtypes of psychosis on the speed of decline in ...

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 ...

Predictive Modelling using Neuroimaging Data in the Presence of Confounds [PDF]
When training predictive models from neuroimaging data, we typically have available non-imaging variables such as age and gender that affect the imaging data but which we may be uninterested in from a clinical perspective.

Systems modeling of white matter microstructural abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Microstructural abnormalities in white matter (WM) are often reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is unclear which brain regions have the strongest WM changes in presymptomatic AD and what biological processes underlie WM ...
