  1. Genome-wide studies of verbal declarative memory in nondemented older people: the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology consortium

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Biological psychiatry 2014-11-25 Genetics

    This largest study to date exploring the genetics of memory function in ~40,000 older individuals revealed genome-wide associations and suggested an involvement of immune and ubiquitin pathways.

  2. Declarative memory impairments in Alzheimer's disease and semantic dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. NeuroImage 2005-11-21 Brain scans and imaging

    Semantic dementia (SD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are both disorders in which early pathology affects the temporal lobe yet they produce distinct syndromes of declarative memory impairment-loss of established semantic knowledge with relatively preserved episodic memory in the former and the converse in the latter.
