Does serum neurofilament light help predict accelerated cognitive ageing in unimpaired older adults?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNeurofilament light (NfL) is a blood biomarker of neurodegeneration. While serum NfL levels have been demonstrated to increase with normal ageing, the relationship between serum NfL levels and normal age-related changes in cognitive functions

Association Between Components of Cognitive Reserve and Serum BDNF in Healthy Older Adults
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021 Background: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein has been shown to have a prominent role in neuron survival, growth, and function in experimental models, and the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism which regulates its expression has been linked to
