Healthy aging is associated with deficits in cognitive performance and brain changes, including in the cerebellum. Cerebellar communication with the cortex via closed-loop circuits through the thalamus have been established and these circuits are closely related to the functional topography of the cerebellum. In this study, we sought to elucidate relationships between cerebellar structure and function with cognition in healthy aging.

- * FH+ young adults show signs of immune system dysregulation, evidenced by increased white blood cell counts and inflammation, which could contribute to their higher addiction risk.
- * The study highlights a potential link between family history of substance disorders and immune changes, suggesting that simple blood tests could help identify individuals at risk for substance use disorders.
Background: Preeclampsia is a potentially fatal complication during pregnancy, characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of excessive proteins in the urine. Due to its complexity, the prediction of preeclampsia onset is often difficult and inaccurate.
Objective: This study aimed to create quantitative models to predict the onset gestational age of preeclampsia using electronic health records.
