Sensitivity of Individual and Composite Test Scores from the Cogstate Brief Battery to Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Due to Alzheimer’s Disease
Background The Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB) is a computerized cognitive test battery used commonly to identify cognitive deficits related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, AD and normative samples used to understand the sensitivity of the CBB […]
Genetic polymorphism in BIN1 rather than APOE is associated with poor recognition memory among men without dementia
Although several genetic polymorphisms have been linked with the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, less is known about their impact on cognitive performance among cognitively healthy individuals. Our aim was to investigate the association of the genetic […]
Multidomain modifiable dementia risk factors are associated with poorer cognition in midlife
Objective: Studies of modifiable dementia risk factors (MDRFs) generally consider MDRFs individually, despite strong evidence that they co-occur in adult populations. In a large sample of middle-aged adults, this study aimed to determine the frequency and […]
Association of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder With Accelerated Cognitive Decline in Middle-aged Women
Importance: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been hypothesized to lead to impaired cognitive function. However, no large-scale studies have assessed whether PTSD is prospectively associated with cognitive decline in middle-aged adults. Objective: To assess the association […]
Longitudinal Cognitive Decline in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia Due to Alzheimer’s Disease
Sensitive cognitive assessments accurately detect and track cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. The Cogstate battery was used to measure cognitive change in cognitively normal participants and in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer’s disease […]
