Incidental findings on brain MRI of cognitively normal first-degree descendants of patients with Alzheimer's disease: a cross-sectional analysis from the ALFA (Alzheimer and Families) project
BMJ OpenAbstractObjectives: To describe the prevalence of brain MRI incidental findings (IF) in a cohort of cognitively normal first-degree descendants of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Design: Cross... -

FKBP5 modulates the hippocampal connectivity deficits in depression: a study in twins
Brain Imaging and BehaviorAbstractThe hippocampus is a key modulator of stress responses underlying depressive behavior. While FKBP5 has been found associated with a large number of stress-related outcomes and hippocampal features... -

The Corticocortical Structural Connectivity of the Human Insula
Cerebral CortexAbstractThe insula is a complex structure involved in a wide range of functions. Tracing studies on nonhuman primates reveal a wide array of cortical connections in the frontal (orbitofrontal and prefrontal... -

Improved Cerebrospinal Fluid-Based Discrimination between Alzheimer's Disease Patients and Controls after Correction for Ventricular Volumes
Journal of Alzheimer's DiseaseAbstractCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers may support the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied if the diagnostic power of AD CSF biomarker concentrations, i.e., Aβ42, total tau (t-tau), and... -

Cerebrospinal fluid sTREM2 levels are associated with gray matter volume increases and reduced diffusivity in early Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's & DementiaAbstractIntroduction: TREM2 is involved in the regulation of inflammatory response and phagocytosis. A soluble fragment (sTREM2) is often found abnormally increased in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in Alzheimer's... -

The APOE ε4 genotype modulates CSF YKL-40 levels and their structural brain correlates in the continuum of Alzheimer's disease but not those of sTREM2
Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease MonitoringAbstractIntroduction: Among other metabolic functions, the apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays a crucial role in neuroinflammation. We aimed at assessing whether APOE ε4 modulates levels of glial cerebrospinal... -

Cerebrospinal Fluid A beta(42/40) Corresponds Better than A beta(42) to Amyloid PET in Alzheimer's Disease
Journal of Alzheimer's DiseaseAbstractBackground: Decreased concentrations of amyloid-β 1-42 (Aβ42) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and increased retention of Aβ tracers in the brain on positron emission tomography (PET) are considered the... -

Cerebrospinal fluid-induced retardation of amyloid β aggregation correlates with Alzheimer's disease and the APOE ε4 allele
Brain ResearchAbstractMisfolding and aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) are key features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, but the molecular events controlling this process are not known in detail. In vivo, Aβ... -

Statistical shape analysis of subcortical structures using spectral matching
Computerized Medical Imaging and GraphicsAbstractStudying morphological changes of subcortical structures often predicate neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Hence, methods for... -

Mild Developmental Foreign Accent Syndrome and Psychiatric Comorbidity: Altered White Matter Integrity in Speech and Emotion Regulation Networks
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceAbstractForeign accent syndrome (FAS) is a speech disorder that is defined by the emergence of a peculiar manner of articulation and intonation which is perceived as foreign. In most cases of acquired FAS...
