Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

Synaptic loss in Alzheimer's disease predominantly affects the entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus. Amyloid‐β and p‐tau pathology show global associations with synaptic density but are limited in specific subregions. Instead, axonal damage associates with synaptic loss locally and in interconnected subregions.
