The paper shows aging and Alzheimer's disease alter distinct functional connectivity axes in the brain, with AD affecting the sensory-association axis and aging affecting the representation-executive axis.

The paper investigates whether hemispheric asymmetry in tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease is linked to reduced inter-hemispheric connectivity or asymmetric amyloid-beta distribution, finding a strong association with amyloid-beta laterality.

The paper compares medial temporal lobe atrophy patterns in early-onset and late-onset amnestic Alzheimer's disease, finding similar atrophy levels but differences in specific subregions.

This paper investigates how histological features like cell density and structure anisotropy explain variations in diffusion MRI metrics MD and FAIP in meningioma tumors, finding that cell density explains variability across but not within tumors.

This study shows plasma neurofilament light chain levels correlate with diffusion tensor imaging metrics in frontotemporal dementia, indicating a link between blood biomarkers and white matter degeneration.

The paper assesses longitudinal medial temporal lobe atrophy in preclinical dementia using visual and automated methods over six years, finding that visual ratings correlate with subcortical volumes but have low inter-rater agreement.
