Cognitive impairment and dementia in Latin American individuals with parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease: A 10/66 Dementia Research Group study. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the associations between parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease (PD) with cognitive impairment and dementia in a multi‐country cohort in Latin America, using data from the 10/66 Dementia Research Group. METHODS This population‐based prospective cohort study was conducted in six Latin American countries,

Social determinants of health and not global genetic ancestry predicts cognitive performance and dementia risk in Latinos [PDF]
Abstract Background Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately affect Latinos compared to non‐Latino whites. Leveraging the non‐monolithic structure of Latin America, which represents a large variability in social determinants of health (SDoH) and high levels of genetic admixture, we aimed to determine contributors to ADRD ...

Social determinants of health but not global genetic ancestry predict dementia prevalence in Latin America. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Leveraging the nonmonolithic structure of Latin America, which represents a large variability in social determinants of health (SDoH) and high levels of genetic admixture, we aim to evaluate the relative contributions of SDoH and genetic ancestry in predicting dementia prevalence in Latin American populations.

Abstract BACKGROUND Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) are common in neurodegenerative diseases; however, little is known about the prevalence of NPSs in Hispanic populations. METHODS Using data from community‐dwelling participants age 65 years and older enrolled in the 10/66 study (N = 11,768), we aimed to estimate the prevalence of NPSs in Hispanic ...

Migrating eagles stopping in the Sahara Desert: Aberrant behaviour or foraging strategy?
We analysed the behaviour of GPS‐tagged booted eagles (Aquila pennata) migrating across the Sahara Desert, finding that non‐directional and/or slow movements occur in 35% of the migratory journeys and last up to 31 days (average: 5.9). The analyses show that these stop‐overs are not triggered by adverse weather conditions and are shown especially by ...

Variation in the Adult Sex Ratio and Morphological Traits of <i>Cardisoma guanhumi</i> (Latreille, 1828) in Contrasting Habitats in the Southwest of the Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
At a regional scale, we found a bias toward one sex according to the habitat and differences in weight and size between females and males. ABSTRACT The habitat and its environmental conditions, when optimal, influence the reproduction and survival of organisms, since they can have an impact on demographic parameters such as adult sex ratio (ASR ...

Population dynamics of recovering apex predators: Golden eagles in a Mediterranean landscape
Density‐dependence, resource availability and human pressure at territorial level drive population dynamics in a recovering apex‐predator population. Abstract Apex predators play a critical role in shaping the biological and functional diversity of ecosystems.

Electrophysiological correlates of proportion congruency manipulation in a temporal flanker task
Abstract Response conflict evoked by a distractor stimulus object in interference tasks is associated with longer reaction times and a pronounced ERP component referred to as the fronto‐central N2. Increasing the proportion congruency (PC, i.e., the proportion of trials in which target and distractor are associated with the same response) is assumed to
