Alzheimers Dement

Background: Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter critical for cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and sociability, is essential for maintaining synaptic integrity. Deficits in acetylcholine levels are linked to cognitive impairments. Heterozygous VAChT KD (VAChT KDHET) mice, characterized by reduced vesicular acetylcholine transporter protein production, exhibit cognitive impairments due to diminished acetylcholine release.

Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.

A therapeutic study of JNPL3 mice with chronic treatment from 7-12 months of age inhibited the progression of tau aggregation and improved motor coordination.

Background: A potential mechanism underpinning the cognitive benefits from physical activity and aerobic exercise is cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Greater cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) was associated with better executive function, short-term memory, and global cognition in older adults without cognitive impairment. Sex differences in CRF has been established in adults.

Background: The risk of cognitive decline in cancer survivors may be increased by platinum-based chemotherapy. Evidence indicates that physical exercise has a potential to reduce chemotherapy-related toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess effects of a 6-month aerobic-strength training on cognitive functions, metabolic flexibility, anthropometric parameters and physical fitness in testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) survivors, treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
