  1. ECOCAPTURE@HOME: Protocol for the Remote Assessment of Apathy and Its Everyday-Life Consequences

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. International journal of environmental research and public health 2021-07-23 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Apathy, a common neuropsychiatric symptom associated with dementia, has a strong impact on patients' and caregivers' quality of life.

  2. Apathy and anxiety are early markers of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2019-10-19 Brain scans and imaging

    In this study, we investigated associations between neuropsychiatric symptoms (i.e., apathy, anxiety, and depression) and cerebral atrophy, white matter lesions (WML), beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition, and cognitive decline in a nondemented sample. 104 cognitively unimpaired and 53 subjects with mild cognitive impairment were followed for up to 4 years within the Swedish BioFINDER study.

  3. Regional Tau Correlates of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and Apathy in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    This exploratory study suggests that IADL impairment in AD is associated with medial temporal and frontal tau, especially in individuals with elevated amyloid, while apathy may be associated with right frontal tau.

  4. Apathy correlates with prefrontal amyloid β deposition in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2013-10-16 Brain scans and imaging

    This study revealed that prefrontal Aβ deposition correlates with apathy.
