Cortical Thickness Differences Are Associated With Chemical Synaptic Transmission Upregulated Genes in Degeneration of Mild Cognitive Impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transition between normal cognition (NC) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Differences in cortical thickness (ΔCT) have been reported in cases that degenerate from MCI to AD. The aspects of genetic and transcriptional variation related to ΔCT are vague. In this study, using an 8-year longitudinal follow-up outcome, we investigated the […]

Blood Pressure and T-Tau in Spinal Fluid Are Associated With Delayed Recall in Participants With Memory Complaints and Dementia of the Alzheimer’s Type

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine if systolic blood pressure (SBP), total-tau (t-tau), and beta-amyloid (Aβ) in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) were associated with the results on the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease Word List (CERAD-WL) immediate and delayed recall, and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) in […]
