Cognitive performance and mortality among patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant
Objectives: Patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) are at risk for death and remain understudied relative to those undergoing allogeneic HCT. Cognitive functioning may be a useful indicator of mortality risk. We examined cognition […]
Association of Basal Forebrain Atrophy With Cognitive Decline in Early Alzheimer Disease
Background and Objectives In early Alzheimer disease (AD), β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition is associated with volume loss in the basal forebrain (BF) and cognitive decline. However, the extent to which Aβ-related BF atrophy manifests as cognitive decline […]
Psychiatric symptoms, associated pharmacological treatments and cognitive function: A population-based study of men
Background: Psychiatric symptomatology and medications used in their treatment may be modifiable risk factors associated with cognitive function, although findings from population-based studies spanning the full adult age range are lacking. This study aimed to investigate […]
Cross-sectional associations between neighborhood characteristics, cognition and dementia risk factor burden in middle-aged and older Australians
Dementia disproportionately affects individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those living in areas of lower neighborhood-level socioeconomic status. It is important to understand whether there are specific neighborhood characteristics associated with dementia risk factors and cognition which […]
Lower dorsal putamen D2/3 receptor availability and amphetamine-induced dopamine release are related to poorer cognitive function in recently abstinent people who smoke and healthy controls
Introduction: In the dopamine system, the mesolimbic pathway, including the dorsal striatum, underlies the reinforcing properties of tobacco smoking, and the mesocortical pathway, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), is critical for cognitive functioning. Dysregulated dopamine […]
