This paper introduces SMAS, a Bayesian VAE-based AD score from structural MRI data, showing strong correlations with cognitive decline and brain atrophy markers, and outperforming existing measures in predicting AD.

The paper examines if fractional anisotropy of the fornix mediates the link between Mediterranean diet adherence and verbal memory decline in older adults over four years.

This study finds that lifelong musical activity is linked to better cognitive abilities and preserved brain structure in older adults, suggesting it may enhance cognitive resilience.

This study investigates the association between Klotho heterozygosity and Alzheimer's disease risk in APOE4 carriers using multiple AD endophenotypes from large cohorts.

This study identifies genetic variants in the MS4A gene cluster associated with higher sTREM2 levels and reduced Alzheimer disease risk, suggesting MS4A4A regulates sTREM2 and contributes to AD pathogenesis.
