A deep learning model for brain age prediction using minimally preprocessed T1w images as input

IntroductionIn the last few years, several models trying to calculate the biological brain age have been proposed based on structural magnetic resonance imaging scans (T1-weighted MRIs, T1w) using multivariate methods and machine learning. We developed and validated a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based biological brain age prediction model that uses one T1w MRI preprocessing step when […]

Studying lack of awareness of cognitive decline in neurodegenerative diseases requires measures of both anosognosia and denial

The cause(s) of lack of awareness of cognitive decline in neurodegenerative diseases can be multifactorial. Yet neurologically oriented research on anosognosia of cognitive decline almost exclusively assumes that the underlying disturbance of neuro-networks that support various cognitive functions accounts for the reduced self-awareness. Cultural and psychosocial factors, including the person’s emotional state, however, can contribute […]

Unravelling the connection between COVID-19 and Alzheimer’s disease: a comprehensive review

Currently, there exists a limited comprehension regarding the correlation between COVID-19 and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To elucidate the interrelationship and its impact on outcomes, a comprehensive investigation was carried out utilising time-unrestricted searches of reputable databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of various […]
