By Cu NMR we studied the spin and charge structure in Nd(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-delta). For x=0.15, starting from a superconducting sample, the low temperature magnetic order in the sample reoxygenated under 1 bar oxygen at 900 degrees C reveals a peculiar modulation of the internal field, indicative of a phase characterized by large charge droplets ("blob" phase). By prolonged reoxygenation at 4 bars the blobs break up and the spin structure changes to that of an ordered antiferromagnet. We conclude that the superconductivity in the n-type systems competes with a genuine type I Mott-insulating state.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) trials report a high screening failure rate (potentially eligible trial candidates who do not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria during screening) due to multiple factors including stringent eligibility criteria. Here, we report the main reasons for screening failure in the 12-week screening phase of the ongoing evoke (NCT04777396) and evoke+ (NCT04777409) trials of semaglutide in early AD.

Method: Key inclusion criteria were age 55-85 years; mild cognitive impairment due to AD (Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] global score of 0.

Background: Aging associates with decreased functional connectivity between brain regions linked to musical rhythm perception. Producing rhythmic music may result in strengthened functional connectivity of these regions, but more evidence is needed to support intervention design. Currently, few studies directly contrast younger and older adults' rhythmic music performance to understand brain-behavior relationships.

Background: Several studies have shown that financial capacity constitutes a vital component of instrumental activities of daily living. However, there is insufficient research investigating the relationship between financial impairment, brain volume changes and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we examine the association between brain volume changes and financial capacity in cognitively unimpaired (CU) and mild cognitively impaired (MCI) individuals.

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation enhances cognition in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Whereas conventional treatment requires daily sessions for 4-6 weeks, accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) shortens the treatment course to just 3 days, substantially improving feasibility of use in people with MCI. We conducted a Phase I safety and feasibility trial of iTBS in MCI, finding preliminary evidence of cognitive improvement.

Background: Familial Alzheimer's disease research necessitates innovative methodologies to disentangle the intricate relationships between genetic factors and neuroimaging measures. Traditional frequentist approaches, often hampered by small sample sizes in this population and challenges in incorporating prior knowledge transparently, may limit the robustness of findings.

Methods: We analyzed neuroimaging data of preclinical PSNE1 single mutation carriers, utilizing the software JASP to test effects of carrier status on measures of basal forebrain functional connectivity using both frequentist and Bayesian approach.
