Subjective memory impairment (SMI) is a common risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, with few established options for treatment. Here we investigate the effects of two months episodic memory training on regional brain atrophy in 19 memory clinic patients with SMI. We used a sensitive longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging protocol and compared the patients with 42 […]
Learning in Alzheimer’s disease is facilitated by social interaction
Seminal work in Gary Van Hoesen’s laboratory at Iowa in the early 1980s established that the hallmark neuropathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD; neurofibrillary tangles) had its first foothold in specific parts of the hippocampal formation and entorhinal cortex, effectively isolating the hippocampus from much of its input and output and causing the distinctive impairment of […]
Cognitive changes in mild cognitive impairment patients with impaired visual recognition memory

Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether assessing memory using the visual recognition memory task DMS48 in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) can contribute to the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In an 18-month follow-up study, we assessed if longitudinal change in aMCI patients who failed on the DMS48 differs from that of patients […]
Fish consumption and cognitive function among older people in the UK: baseline data from the OPAL study
Dangour, A. D.,
Allen, E.,
Elbourne, D.,
Fletcher, A.,
Richards, M.,
Uauy, R.
Background: Observational epidemiological data suggest that habitual consumption in later life of oily fish, rich in n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPs), is associated with better cognitive function, slower rates of cognitive decline and a lower risk of dementia. In this paper we present data on baseline fish consumption and cognitive function in cognitively […]
Women have farther to fall: gender differences between normal elderly and Alzheimer’s disease in verbal memory engender better detection of Alzheimer’s disease in women
Chapman, Robert M.,
Mapstone, Mark,
Gardner, Margaret N.,
Sandoval, Tiffany C.,
McCrary, John W.,
Guillily, Maria D.,
Reilly, Lindsey A.,
DeGrush, Elizabeth
We analyzed verbal episodic memory learning and recall using the Logical Memory (LM) subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III to determine how gender differences in AD compare to those seen in normal elderly and whether or not these differences impact assessment of AD. We administered the LM to both an AD and a Control group, […]
The effect of midlife physical activity on cognitive function among older adults: AGES–Reykjavik Study
Chang, M.,
Jonsson, P. V.,

Lopez, O. L.,
Harris, T. B.,
Gudnason, V.,
Launer, L. J.
Background: There are few studies on the long-term associations of physical activity (PA) to cognition. Here, we examine the association of midlife PA to late-life cognitive function and dementia.; Methods: The sample consisted of a population-based cohort of men and women (born in 1907-1935) participating in the Age Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study. The interval between the […]
A brief neuropsychological battery for use in the chronic heart failure population
Bauer, Lisa,
Pozehl, Bunny,
Hertzog, Melody,
Johnson, Julene,
Zimmerman, Lani,
Filipi, Mary
Background: Cognitive impairment is a recognized consequence of heart failure; however, there are no neuropsychological batteries with documented psychometric data in the chronic heart failure population.; Aims: To document the psychometric properties of a brief neuropsychological battery in a chronic heart failure sample.; Methods: The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, Trail Making […]
