Background: Sleep disturbances are common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and occur at early stages. Hyperexcitability also arises during sleep and can lead to epileptiform activity and seizures that impact memory consolidation. The underlying mechanisms of sleep disturbances and hyperexcitability in AD pathology remain unclear but are likely associated with changes in brain networks and altered functional connectivity (FC).

Additionally, we explored how PET scan duration influences the quantification of kinetic parameters across brain regions of interest(ROIs) that are vulnerable in Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Synaptic dysfunction plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cognitive decline. We investigated the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) synaptic protein levels and quantitative EEG (qEEG) measures, two modalities to measure synaptic dysfunction in AD pathology. We assessed combined and independent prognostic value of both modalities for cognitive decline along the AD continuum.

We used Mendelian randomization (MR; using genetic causal anchors to avoid reverse causation) to clarify the causal relationship between plasma/brain GFAP, Aβ, and tau.
Methods: Study participants are from two independent datasets: the Harvard Aging Brain Study (HABS) and the Religious Orders Study/the Rush Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP) (Table 1).

Background: Autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) dysfunction emerges early in Alzheimer's disease(AD). In mouse AD models, lysosomal acidification deficits impair ALP in neurons, in some inducing massive autolysosome accumulations, intraneuronal amyloid plaque, and early neuronal death yielding an extracellular amyloid plaque. This distinctive neurodegenerative pattern (PANTHOS) emerges in early-stage AD and is recapitulated in human late-onset AD (accompanying poster).
