Postoperative delirium is the most common postsurgical complication in older adults and is associated with an increased risk of long-term cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). However, the neurological basis of this increased risk- whether postoperative delirium unmasks latent preoperative pathology or leads to AD-relevant pathology after perioperative brain injury-remains unclear. Recent advancements in neuroimaging techniques now enable the detection of subtle brain features or damage that may underlie clinical symptoms.

Background: Higher cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular endurance (CE) have been shown to be neuroprotective in older adulthood, but the mechanisms underlying this neuroprotection across the adult lifespan are poorly understood. The current study sought to examine the neuroprotective effects of CRF on gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volumes, and mean cortical thickness (MCT), using a large sample across the adult lifespan. We also examined sex differences in these relationships.

Background: Psychotherapeutic memory plays an important role in maintaining therapeutic effects; however, the neural mechanisms of therapeutic metaphor promoting long-term memory were still unknown.
Objective: This study used metaphorical micro-counseling dialog scenarios to investigate the memory effect of therapeutic metaphor and correlated neural mechanisms.
Methods: At first, 31 participants read a mental distress problem, followed by a metaphorical or a literal solution, while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning during the encoding phase.

Purpose: Recent studies have shown that late-onset epilepsy (LOE) is accompanied with cognitive decline and increased risk of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying the cognitive decline in LOE remains unclear. The aim of current study was to evaluate the relationship between glymphatic system (GS) function and cognitive decline in LOE patients using the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS).

Introduction: Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) bring the higher risk of Alzheimer' Disease (AD). It is essential to evaluate whether the diagnostic performances and critical values of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are influenced by APOE ε4, which has guiding significance for the clinical practical application.
Methods: The differences in CSF biomarkers and their performances between APOE ε4 carriers and non-carriers in distinguishing AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preclinical AD from normal controls (NCs) were analyzed.
