Brain oscillatory processes related to sequence memory in healthy older adults
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Apr 6;139:64-72. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSequence memory is subject to age-related decline, but the underlying processes are not yet fully understood. We analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) in 21 healthy older (60-80 years) and 26 young participants (20-30 years) and compared time-frequency spectra and theta-gamma phase-amplitude-coupling (PAC) during encoding of the order of visually presented items. In older adults, desynchronization in theta (4-8 Hz) and synchronization in gamma (30-45 Hz) power did not distinguish between subsequently correctly an...

Degeneration in Nucleus basalis of Meynert signals earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease progression
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Mar 15;139:54-63. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.03.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNucleus Basalis of Meynert (NbM), a crucial source of cholinergic projection to the entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus (HC), has shown sensitivity to neurofibrillary degeneration in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Using deformation-based morphometry (DBM) on up-sampled MRI scans from 1447 Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants, we aimed to quantify NbM degeneration along the disease trajectory. Results from cross-sectional analysis revealed significant differences of NbM volume bet...

Decomposing neurophysiological underpinnings of age-related decline in visual working memory
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Mar 20;139:30-43. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.03.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExploring the neural basis of age-related decline in working memory is vital in our aging society. Previous electroencephalographic studies suggested that the contralateral delay activity (CDA) may be insensitive to age-related decline in lateralized visual working memory (VWM) performance. Instead, recent evidence indicated that task-induced alpha power lateralization decreases in older age. However, the relationship between alpha power lateralization and age-related decline of VWM performance remains unknown, ...

Trajectories of amyloid beta accumulation - Unveiling the relationship with APOE genotype and cognitive decline

We studied how the position on this function, reflected by different Aβ accumulation phases, influences APOE ɛ4's association with Aβ and cognitive decline in 503 participants without dementia using Aβ-PET imaging over 5.3-years. First, Aβ load and accumulation were analyzed irrespective of phases using linear mixed regression. Generally, ɛ4 carriers displayed a higher Aβ load. Moreover, Aβ normal (Aβ-) ɛ4 carriers de...

Preventive effect of propolis on cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease model mice
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Mar 13;139:20-29. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBrazilian green propolis (propolis) is a chemically complex resinous substance that is a potentially viable therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease. Herein, propolis induced a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in Neuro-2A cells; moreover, propolis-induced [Ca2+]i elevations were suppressed prior to 24-h pretreatment with amyloid-β. To reveal the effect of [Ca2+]i elevation on impaired cognition, we performed memory-related behavioral tasks in APP-KI mice relative to WT mice at 4...

Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer's disease pathology in African American older adults
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Mar 30;139:11-19. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.03.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe apolipoprotein-E4 (APOE*4) and apolipoprotein-E2 (APOE*2) alleles are more common in African American versus non-Hispanic white populations, but relationships of both alleles with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology among African American individuals are unclear. We measured APOE allele and β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau using blood samples and positron emission tomography (PET) images, respectively. Individual regression models tested associations of each APOE allele with Aβ or tau PET overall, stratified by raci...
