  1. Hippocampal Connectivity with Retrosplenial Cortex is Linked to Neocortical Tau Accumulation and Memory Function

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2021-09-16 Brain scans and imaging

    The mechanisms underlying accumulation of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related tau pathology outside of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in older adults are unknown but crucial to understanding cognitive decline.

  2. A meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in Alzheimer's disease highlights novel differentially methylated loci across cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 84 out of 100. Nature communications 2021-06-10 Genetics

    Epigenome-wide association studies of Alzheimer's disease have highlighted neuropathology-associated DNA methylation differences, although existing studies have been limited in sample size and utilized different brain regions.

  3. DNA methylation analysis on purified neurons and glia dissects age and Alzheimer's disease-specific changes in the human cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Epigenetics & chromatin 2018-07-25 Genetics

    Our data highlight the complex interplay between disease, age and cell-type-specific methylation changes in AD risk genes thus offering new perspectives for the validation and interpretation of large EWAS results.

  4. Intrinsic connectivity between the hippocampus and posteromedial cortex predicts memory performance in cognitively intact older individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. NeuroImage 2010-02-24 Brain scans and imaging

    Coherent fluctuations of spontaneous brain activity are present in distinct functional-anatomic brain systems during undirected wakefulness.

  5. Cytoarchitectonic definition of prefrontal areas in the normal human cortex: I. Remapping of areas 9 and 46 using quantitative criteria

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) 1995-07-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Layers III and V exhibit clearer sublamination in area 9, while layer IV is also somewhat wider in area 46 than in area 9 (9.3% vs 6.4% of cortical thickness); the overall thickness of the cortex is the same in both areas.

  6. Lamina-specific arrangement of astrocytic gliosis and senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease visual cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 1988-11-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) visual cortex (area 17) was investigated using stains for plaques and tangles (Bielschowsky, thioflavine S) and gliosis (GFAP immunoperoxidase).
