The EmoWear dataset provides a bridge to explore Emotion Recognition (ER) via Seismocardiography (SCG), the measurement of small cardio-respiratory induced vibrations on the chest wall through Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). We recorded Accelerometer (ACC), Gyroscope (GYRO), Electrocardiography (ECG), Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), Respiration (RSP), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), and Skin Temperature (SKT) data from 49 participants who watched validated emotionally stimulating video clips. They self-assessed their emotional valence, arousal, and dominance, as well as extra questions about the video clips. Also, we asked the participants to walk, talk, and drink, so that researchers can detect gait, voice, and swallowing using the same IMU. We demonstrate the effectiveness of emotion stimulation with statistical methods and verify the quality of the collected signals through signal-to-noise ratio and correlation analysis. EmoWear can be used for ER via SCG, ER during gait, multi-modal ER, and the study of IMUs for context-awareness. Targeted contextual information include emotions, gait, voice activity, and drinking, all having the potential to be sensed via a single IMU.

Background: Brain iron dyshomeostasis has been observed in behavioral deficits relevant to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it remains unclear whether it is a primary cause or an epiphenomenon of disease.
Method: We assessed the effects of brain iron dyshomeostasis on spatial cognition and cognitive flexibility using the IntelliCage system, recognition memory using novel object recognition tasks and anxiety-like behavior using the open field and elevated plus maze tests. We investigated these phenotypes in a HfexTfr2 mouse model of brain iron dyshomeostasis alone (Iron) or combined with an APP/PS1 model of Alzheimer's Aβ amyloidosis (Aβ+Iron), compared with APP/PS1 mice with Aβ amyloidosis alone (Aβ) or wildtype controls.

Background: Sorbs2 is a cytoskeletal adaptor protein that is expressed in hippocampal neurons, but its mechanistic role in these cells is not yet fully understood.
Method: We created two groups of mice for our study: whole-body Sorbs2-Knockout (KO) mice and Sorbs2-Flox mice, which had neuronal knockout via AAV-PHP.eB-hSyn1-Cre virus injection.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD) the fact that neuropsychiatric symptoms can predate the onset of cognitive symptoms suggests that greater focus on the non-cognitive behavioral changes in earlier life could be an opportunity to investigate 'latent' mild behavioral impairment (MBI) as a possible diagnostic strategy for preclinical AD.
Method: We used 1- and 6-month-old 3xTg-AD male mice and age-matched wild-type animals (CEUA-ICB/USP: 127/2015). Two batteries of behavioral tests were performed: (1) open field test (OFT), novel object recognition test (NORT), and rotarod test; (2) elevated zero maze test (EZMT), forced swim test (FST), and sucrose preference test (SPT).

Background: The salience network (SN) functions as a dynamic switch between the default mode network (DMN) and the frontoparietal network (FPN), aligning with salience and cognitive demand. Dysfunctions in SN activity within the cognitive and affective domains are linked to a wide range of deficits and maladaptive behavioral patterns in various clinical disorders. Emotion recognition is pivotal in social interactions and can be affected in neurodegenerative disorders.

Background: Dementia is associated with a range of non-cognitive features that can occur during the prodromal phase. Improved recognition of non-cognitive presentations of dementia could reduce inequalities in dementia diagnosis, particularly if sociocultural factors influence rates of help-seeking for cognitive symptoms. We aimed to investigate presentations to primary care in the years before dementia diagnosis in a deprived and ethnically diverse population with universal access to health care.
