Inflammation is becoming increasingly recognised as a core feature of dementia with evidence indicating that its role may vary and adapt across different stages of the neurodegenerative process. This study aimed to investigate whether the associations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with neuropsychological performance (verbal memory, executive function, processing speed) and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) differed between older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD; = 179) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI; = 286). Fasting serum hs-CRP concentrations were grouped into low (<1.

Introduction: The megalencephaly capillary malformation polymicrogyria (MCAP syndrome) results from mosaic gain-of-function variants. The main clinical features are macrocephaly, somatic overgrowth, neurodevelopmental delay and brain anomalies. Alpelisib (Vijoice) is a recently FDA-approved PI3Kα-specific inhibitor for patients with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS).

Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses a complex set of physiological, psychological, and cognitive challenges that significantly affect an individual's quality of life. Analysis of longitudinal studies reveals that cognitive changes following SCI are often underestimated yet significantly impact patient's ability to adapt to their new circumstances. However, the role of neuropsychology in SCI management and rehabilitation is yet to be elucidated.

Introduction: Impairments in social cognition in bipolar disorder (BD) have been extensively described in the last decade but few treatment strategies have been studied to address this issue. This study presents findings from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the efficacy of metacognitive training for bipolar disorder (MCT-BD) compared to Treatment as Usual (TAU) among individuals with BD in remission. The aim was to determine whether MCT-BD could improve social cognition and overall functioning in this population.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), tau and white matter lesion pathology are associated with clinical severity and subsequent decline, but their relative relationships with clinical assessments remain uncertain.
Objective: To examine cross-sectional and prognostic associations between baseline [F]GTP1 tau positron emission tomography (PET) standardized uptake value ratio (SUVRs) and T1 white matter hypointensity (WMHypo) volumes with clinical indices.
Methods: We analyzed participants with biomarker-confirmed prodromal (n = 127) or mild (n = 233) AD with baseline [F]GTP1 tau PET and MRI and longitudinal Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), 13-item version of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog13), Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), and Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) data.
