Introduction: Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is characterized by the emergence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in elderly persons. Here, we examine the associations between MBI and Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in asymptomatic elderly individuals.
Methods: Ninety-six cognitively normal elderly individuals underwent MRI, [ F]AZD4694 β-amyloid-PET, and [ F]MK6240 tau-PET. MBI was assessed using the MBI Checklist (MBI-C). Pearson's correlations and voxel-based regressions were used to evaluate the relationship between MBI-C score and [ F]AZD4694 retention, [ F]MK6240 retention, and gray matter (GM) volume.
Results: Pearson correlations revealed a positive relationship between MBI-C score and global and striatal [ F]AZD4694 standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs). Voxel-based regression analyses revealed a positive correlation between MBI-C score and [ F]AZD4694 retention. No significant correlations were found between MBI-C score and [ F]MK6240 retention or GM volume.
Conclusion: We demonstrate for the first time a link between MBI and early AD pathology in a cognitively intact elderly population, supporting the use of the MBI-C as a metric to enhance clinical trial enrolment.

Exploring neuropsychiatric symptoms in Friedreich ataxia.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common in hereditary ataxias as a part of the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome. In Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), one of the most common hereditary ataxias, depressive symptoms were previously reported, but little is known about other NPS. We aimed to study the presence and severity of a broad range of NPS in individuals with FRDA and assess the relationship between the NPS and the disease severity, cognition, and quality of life and to examine the concordance between the NPS reported by the patients and by their informants.

Article Synopsis
- Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is identified as a warning sign for dementia in older adults, affecting their quality of life (QoL) through various neuropsychiatric symptoms.
- The study involved over 1,100 individuals aged 50 and older, analyzing how severity of MBI symptoms correlates with QoL using specific measurement tools.
- Results showed that higher MBI symptom scores significantly correlated with poorer QoL, regardless of sex, highlighting the need to address MBI in healthcare for older adults.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) correlate with tau deposition in the brain. Here, we investigated the association of PET-based Braak stages with NPS and assessed whether they predict annual changes in NPS. We evaluated 231 individuals in the aging and AD continuum.

Background And Objective: The Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist (MBI-C) was developed to detect and standardize neuropsychiatric symptoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability of the MBI-C.
Methods: The sample of our study consisted of 80 patients with cognitive impairment and a control group with 113 participants whose cognitive impairment was not detected in standard tests.
