Predicting nanoplastic bioaccumulation and toxicity using process-based models is challenging due to the difficulties in tracing them at low concentrations. This study investigates the size-dependent effects of nanoplastic exposure on Daphnia magna using a toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) model. Palladium-doped fluorescent nanoplastics in three sizes (30-nm, 66-nm, 170-nm) were tested at two numeric exposure concentrations.

Sleep spindles are known to contribute to memory consolidation and generalization and may therefore be a promising biomarker in preclinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD) . The present study investigated the relationship between sleep spindles and p-tau levels in cognitively healthy older African Americans.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents with cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, language difficulties, emotion dysregulation, and the eventual loss of motor function and death. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows early atrophy in the medial temporal lobes, which then spreads to the posterior temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and finally the frontal lobe with relative sparing of the sensorimotor cortex. Social disadvantage has been shown to have potentially additive impacts on aging trajectories.

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are highly prevalent in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and typically attributed to vascular damage and cerebral small vessel disease. Yet, several lines of evidence from the literature emphasize the heterogeneity in the mechanisms leading to WMH, notably in AD, suggesting that WMH may be partly attributable to AD. Thus, firstly, neuropathological studies demonstrate heterogeneity in WMH histology, with indications of a link between tau pathology, Wallerian degeneration, and WMH severity.

Notably, this area is marked by pronounced disparities, encompassing a wide range of socioeconomic statuses and predominantly low educational attainment. The confluence of risk factors, including educational and socioeconomic deprivation, prevalent diseases, suboptimal health conditions, chronic stress, and lifelong malnutrition, poses a significant risk of escalating dementia cases over the next two decades.
