Sex differences of longitudinal brain changes in cognitively unimpaired adults
Journal of Alzheimer's DiseaseAbstractBackground: There is increasing evidence that AD progression differs by sex.
Objective: The aim of this work was to determine sex differences in the association of baseline levels of cerebrospinal...

Effect of BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism on Hippocampal Subfield Volumes and Compensatory Interaction with APOE-ε4
Brain Structure and FunctionAbstractBackground: Current evidence supports the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism, and the ε4 allele of APOE gene in hippocampal-dependent functions. Previous...

The relation between APOE genotype and cerebral microbleeds in a cognitively unimpaired middle- and late-aged individuals
Neurobiology of AgingAbstractPositive associations between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and APOE-ε4 (apolipoprotein E) genotype have been reported in Alzheimer's disease, but show conflicting results. We investigated the effect of...

APOE-e4 shapes the cerebral organization in cognitively intact individuals as reflected by structural gray matter networks
Cerebral CortexAbstractGray matter networks (GMn) provide essential information on the intrinsic organization of the brain and appear to be disrupted in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Apolipoprotein E (APOE)-ε4 represents the...

Association between insomnia and cognitive performance, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure in cognitively unimpaired adults
Alzheimer's Research & TherapyAbstractBackground: Mounting evidence links poor sleep quality with a higher risk of late-life dementia. However, the structural and cognitive correlates of insomnia are still not well understood. The study...

White matter hyperintensities mediate gray matter volume and processing speed relationship in cognitively unimpaired participants
Human Brain MappingAbstractWhite matter hyperintensities (WMH) have been extensively associated with cognitive impairment and reductions in gray matter volume (GMv) independently. This study explored whether WMH lesion volume...
