Predicting the Risk of Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Imaging Biomarkers
In this population-based study, researchers used imaging biomarkers of amyloid and neuronal injury to estimate an absolute risk of mild cognitive impairment in the elderly.

The Mediterranean Diet and Cognitive Function: Keep the Mind Sharp
Italian seniors who ate a high-quality Mediterranean diet had better cognitive function than those who did not.

Effect of Diet on Hippocampal Volume in a Population at Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in community-dwelling people (average age of 60 years) found that a long-term, high-quality diet was associated with larger hippocampal volumes after an average interval of 11 years.

Quality of Life After Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy in Parkinson’s Disease
Mood, cognitive, and behavioral changes in tremor-predominant Parkinson’s disease patients, three and 12 months after receiving MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy, were correlated with quality of life more than the severity of tremor reduction.

Effect of Diet on Hippocampal Volume in a Population at Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in community-dwelling people (average age of 60 years) found that a long-term, high-quality diet was associated with larger hippocampal volumes after an average interval of 11 years.

Longitudinal tau PET as an Outcome Measure for Clinical Trials
tau PET imaging shows progression of brain Alzheimer’s pathology over time and correlates with cognitive impairment better than amyloid PET. In future clinical trials, tau PET can serve as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease progression.

Brain Imaging and Alzheimer’s Risk: Valid Surrogates or Just Pretty Pictures?
In an observational multimodality brain imaging study, investigators found sex and age differences correlated with endophenotypes of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment in Older Women With Pelvic Floor Disorders
Mild cognitive impairment and early dementia are prevalent in women seeking care for pelvic floor disorders.

Aerobic Exercise and Cognitive Impairment
Progressive aerobic exercise training appears to be a low-risk and effective intervention for improving cognitive function in community-dwelling adults with mild subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment.

Lifestyle Approaches to Prevent and Manage Cognitive Impairment
Despite billions of dollars in research and nearly 200 medications tested for dementia, pharmacologic treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is severely limited in effectiveness and safety. With the disappointing benefits of drug treatment, the promise of lifestyle changes to prevent and delay cognitive decline appears hopeful.
