The relationships between the seven dimensions of the Cloninger psychobiological model and the five factors of the Costa and McCrae model were examined in 54 elderly subjects from the French general population. The dimensions of temperament (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence) and character (determination, cooperation, transcendence) from the Cloninger's model were measured by the temperament and character inventory whereas the five factors of Costa and McCrae model (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) were evaluated using the NEO PI-R. Multiple regression analyses show that some dimensions of the temperament and character inventory predict some dimensions of the Big five and vice versa. Therefore we suggest that the Big five model could be related to brain monoaminergic activities.

Background: Physical exercise presents a viable low-cost, low-risk, individual, and widely available non-pharmacological treatment candidate in cognitive decline such as in Alzheimer's disease (AD). There are even indications that it can reduce the risk of developing dementia in the first place (Livingston et al., The Lancet, 2020).

Background: LatAm-FINGERS is a non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial aimed at preventing cognitive impairment. The intervention advocates for a lifestyle change based on diet, exercise, risk factor control, cognitive training, and socialization. However, the baseline assessment lacks a evaluation of the participants sociability before the intervention.

Background: Although cognitive decline is a trait related to aging, some individuals are resilient to the aging process, defined as SuperAgers. Studying the neural underpinnings of SuperAgers may improve the understanding of AD pathology. In this study, our aim was to analyze amyloid and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers in SuperAgers.

Background: LatAm-FINGERS is the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial aimed at preventing cognitive impairment in Latin America. It encompasses twelve countries that collectively represent 45% of the territory in the Americas. Its objective is to reach populations that, despite sharing commonalities such as language, are culturally and economically diverse.

Freshwater ecosystems are highly biodiverse and important for livelihoods and economic development, but are under substantial stress. To date, comprehensive global assessments of extinction risk have not included any speciose groups primarily living in freshwaters. Consequently, data from predominantly terrestrial tetrapods are used to guide environmental policy and conservation prioritization, whereas recent proposals for target setting in freshwaters use abiotic factors.
