Brain volume loss precedes cognitive decline in the first year after ischaemic stroke
Conclusions Brain volume loss precedes cognitive decline in the first year after ischaemic stroke. Tracking brain volume after stroke is important because brain volume is predictive of cognitive decline and atrophy is a hallmark of dementia.

Differentiating between right-lateralised semantic dementia and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia: an examination of clinical characteristics and emotion processing
Conclusions This study demonstrates comparable deficits in facial emotion processing in right SD and bvFTD, in keeping with their similar clinical profiles. These deficits are attributable to divergent neural substrates in each patient group, namely, right lateralised regions in right SD, versus predominantly left lateralised regions in bvFTD.

Depressive symptoms predict cognitive decline and dementia in older people independently of cerebral white matter changes: the LADIS study
Conclusions DS are associated with an increase risk of cognitive decline, independent of the effect of WMC, probably due to an additive or synergistic effect. In this context, DS probably represent a subtle ongoing organic dysfunction

Grey matter correlations of cognitive impairment in early parkinson's disease: the incidence of cognitive impairment in cohorts with longitudinal evaluation-parkinson's disease (icicle-pd) study
Conclusion GM loss is not present in newly diagnosed PD, either in patients with PD–MCI or PD–NC. These data are consistent with neuropathological studies suggesting that GM loss occurs with disease progression and is not prominent in early PD where the neurodegenerative process is more limited.
