This paper introduces a touchscreen-based spatial working memory task for marmosets and humans, showing that accuracy declines with longer delays and smaller spatial separations, and that these factors interact.

The paper presents a harmonized segmentation protocol for the hippocampal tail in high-resolution MRI, improving cross-study comparability through standardized definitions and consensus-based guidelines.

The paper links hippocampal myo-inositol and total NAA levels to CSF tau pathology in cognitively normal older adults using 1H-MRS.

The paper examines if diffusion metrics in grey matter predict cognitive performance in older adults and finds some metrics predict specific cognitive tasks better than others.

This study shows APOE4 carriers experience faster episodic memory decline linked to amyloid duration, with a dose-dependent effect in homozygotes, but not other cognitive domains.

The paper surveys QC practices for hippocampal subfield segmentation in MRI and provides recommendations to improve reliability and reporting.

This study evaluates digital cognitive assessments as low-burden tools for predicting cognitive decline and tau accumulation in Alzheimer's disease, finding they outperform Aβ and tau PET in detecting mild cognitive impairment and predicting decline.

This study uses cognitive modeling of the Mnemonic Similarity Task to detect early signs of Alzheimer's Disease before cognitive decline, showing better prediction of biomarkers than traditional metrics.

This paper introduces AGNOSTIC, a synthetic 1H MRS dataset for training deep learning models to detect and predict out-of-voxel echoes in brain MRS data.

The paper conducts a meta-analysis of brain MRS studies to establish metabolite concentration ranges and relaxation rates for use in simulations and as references.

This study examines age-related changes in functional connectivity along the hippocampus's longitudinal axis, finding reduced connectivity in anterior regions and a potential compensatory mechanism in posterior regions.

A real-world spatial exploration intervention improves hippocampally-dependent memory in older adults by increasing lure discrimination index, while traditional recognition scores remain unchanged.

This study shows that playing immersive 3D video games for 4 weeks improves hippocampal-based memory in older adults, with benefits lasting up to 4 weeks after the intervention.
