  1. Association of Pathologic and Volumetric Biomarker Changes With Cognitive Decline in Clinically Normal Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Neurology 2023-11-08 Brain scans and imaging

    In older adults, longitudinal hippocampal atrophy is associated with cognitive decline, independently of Aβ or tau, suggesting that non-AD pathologies (e.g., TDP-43, vascular) may contribute to hippocampal-mediated cognitive decline.

  2. Inferior temporal tau is associated with accelerated prospective cortical thinning in clinically normal older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. NeuroImage 2020-06-05 Brain scans and imaging

    Neurofibrillary tau tangles are a hallmark pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are more closely associated with AD-related cortical atrophy and symptom severity than amyloid-beta (Aβ).

  3. Associations of Physical Activity and β-Amyloid With Longitudinal Cognition and Neurodegeneration in Clinically Normal Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. JAMA neurology 2019-10-01 Brain scans and imaging

    In models examining PACC decline and volume loss, there was a significant interaction of physical activity with Aβ burden, such that greater physical activity was associated with slower Aβ-related cognitive decline (β, 0.03; 95% CI, 0.02-0.05; P < .001) and volume loss (β, 482.07; 95% CI, 189.40-774.74; P = .002).
