  1. In vivo hyperphosphorylation of tau is associated with synaptic loss and behavioral abnormalities in the absence of tau seeds

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Nature neuroscience 2024-12-24 Disease mechanisms

    Tau pathology is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Abnormalities of saccadic eye movements in dementia due to Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Aging 2019-08-02 Brain scans and imaging

    The findings revealed that eye-tracking can distinguish between the two forms of MCI.

  3. Pathogenesis and neuroimaging of cerebral large and small vessel disease in type 2 diabetes: A possible link between cerebral and retinal microvascular abnormalities

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Journal of diabetes investigation 2016-08-03 Brain scans and imaging

    Diabetes patients have more than double the risk of ischemic stroke compared with non-diabetic individuals, and its neuroimaging characteristics have important clinical implications.

  4. Saccade abnormalities in autopsy-confirmed frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Archives of neurology 2012-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Decreased visually guided saccade velocity and gain are suggestive of underlying tau pathology in FTD, with vertical saccade abnormalities most diagnostic of progressive supranuclear palsy.

  5. Retinal microvascular abnormalities and subclinical magnetic resonance imaging brain infarct: a prospective study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 44 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2010-06-02 Brain scans and imaging

    Silent brain infarct and white matter lesions are common radiological findings associated with the risk of clinical stroke and dementia; however, our understanding of their underlying pathophysiology and risk factors remains limited.

  6. Sleep and circadian abnormalities in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: a role for cholinergic transmission

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 2005-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibits age-dependent amyloid beta (Abeta) deposition in the brain.

  7. Regional glucose metabolic abnormalities are not the result of atrophy in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurology 1998-06-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Reduced glucose metabolism measured by PET in AD is not simply an artifact due to an increase in CSF space induced by atrophy, but reflects a true metabolic reduction per gram of tissue.
