Neurite Imaging Reveals Widespread Alterations in Grey Matter Neurite Morphology in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common chronic multisystem disorder, and cortical structural alterations have been detected via conventional neuroimaging techniques. Recent advances in diffusion‐weighted imaging have yielded novel techniques for investigating neural microstructure, which may potentially offer supplementary insights into ...

Finding the Words: How Does the Aging Brain Process Language? A Focused Review of Brain Connectivity and Compensatory Pathways

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.

Independent Effects of Age, Education, Verbal Working Memory, Motor Speed of Processing, Locality, and Morphosyntactic Category on Verb‐Related Morphosyntactic Production: Evidence From Healthy Aging

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

Diagnostic performance of verbal fluency measures: a cross-sectional study in the stages of cognitive continuum

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy
Background Verbal fluency (VF) measures are sensitive markers of advanced cognitive decline; however, the utility of the discrepancy score remains underexplored in the early stages of cognitive decline, such as subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Hemispheric asymmetries in hippocampal volume related to memory in left and right temporal variants of frontotemporal degeneration

Frontiers in Neurology
In addition to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the hippocampus is now known to be affected in variants of frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). In semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), characterized by language impairments, hippocampal atrophy is ...
