Grey matter volume and CSF biomarkers predict neuropsychological subtypes of MCI
Neurobiol Aging. 2023 Jul 12;131:196-208. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2023.07.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is increasing evidence of different subtypes of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). An important line of research is whether neuropsychologically-defined subtypes have distinct patterns of neurodegeneration and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker composition. In our study, we demonstrated that MCI participants of the ADNI database (N = 640) can be discriminated into 3 coherent neuropsychological subgroups. Our clustering approach revealed amnestic MCI, mixed MCI, and cluster-derived normal ...

An Alzheimer's disease risk variant in TTC3 modifies the actin cytoskeleton organization and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in iPSC-derived forebrain neurons
Neurobiol Aging. 2023 Jul 17;131:182-195. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2023.07.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA missense variant in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 3 (TTC3) gene (rs377155188, p.S1038C, NM_003316.4:c 0.3113C>G) was found to segregate with disease in a multigenerational family with late-onset Alzheimer's disease. This variant was introduced into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from a cognitively intact individual using CRISPR genome editing, and the resulting isogenic pair of iPSC lines was differentiated into cortical neurons. Transcriptome analysis showed an enrichment for genes ...

Dissociating effects of aging and genetic risk of sporadic Alzheimer's disease on path integration
Neurobiol Aging. 2023 Jul 29;131:170-181. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2023.07.025. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPath integration is a spatial navigation ability that requires the integration of information derived from self-motion cues and stable landmarks, when available, to return to a previous location. Path integration declines with age and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we sought to separate the effects of age and AD risk on path integration, with and without a landmark. Overall, 279 people participated, aged between 18 and 80 years old. Advanced age impaired the appropriate use of a landmark. Older participants f...
