The recently introduced "Feynman" dispersion correction for MNDO (MNDO-F) has been extended to include the elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine and the original parameterization for hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen improved by allowing individual damping radii for the elements. MNDO-F gives a root-mean-square deviation to reference interaction energies of 0.35 kcal mol for the complete parameterization dataset of H, C, N, O, F, Cl, Br and I containing compounds. Graphical Abstract The electrostatic potential at the 0.001 a.u. isodensity surface of the π-complex between benzene and 1,3,5-triodobenzene calculated at the MNDO-F optimized geometry.

Background: Neurite degeneration is increasingly suspected to represent a causal feature of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, sensitive and specific imaging biomarkers of neuronal degeneration are needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in MCI and AD. However, the recently developed Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) MRI technique, used to measure the neurite density index (NDI), has some limitations.

However, despite known correlations between white matter integrity and cognition, less is known about how disruptions to white matter during the development of AD underpin cognitive impairment. This study tests the associations between disruptions to white matter along the AD clinical continuum (cognitive unimpaired (CU): cognitive impaired (CI) - Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD) and cognition using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and multi-tissue neurite and orientation dispersion and density imaging (mtNODDI) models of the multi-shell connectome diffusion MRI (ms-dMRI) data from the Alzheimer's Disease Connectome Project (ADCP).

Background: High body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for dementia, and prior diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (dMRI) work has shown that higher BMI is associated with lower white matter (WM) integrity. The tensor distribution function (TDF) is an advanced dMRI model that is sensitive to the effects of both healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease (Nir et al., 2017; Lawrence et al.

Background: Residence in highly socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods has recently been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology at autopsy, cognitive decline, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of volumetric brain atrophy in cognitively unimpaired adults. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence that markers of brain microstructure derived from diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), including neurite density index (NDI), orientation dispersion index (ODI), and isotropic volume fraction (ISO), are sensitive to AD-related neurodegeneration. In this study, we used linear mixed-effects (LME) modeling to investigate the hypothesis that neighborhood-level disadvantage is associated with mixed-longitudinal trajectories of microstructural neurodegeneration in 539 late-middle-aged participants across the AD continuum.

Background: Increasing evidence shows that many lipids play important roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including Aβ plaque formation. Of note, the greatest genetic risk of late onset AD, apolipoprotien E4 (APOE4), plays a major role in lipid transport. However, the profile of lipids that play a role in AD is poorly understood.
