TL;DR

Cholinergic white matter pathway degeneration is central in Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disease and can be assessed in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging proxies, but neuropathological validation is limited.

Abstract

Cholinergic white matter pathway (CWMP) degeneration is central in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD). CWMP degeneration can be assessed in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proxies, but neuropathological validation is limited.

CSF Tau and Amyloid Biomarkers in Cognitive Impairment Across the ALS–FTD Spectrum: A Systematic Narrative Review and Evidence Map

Cognitive impairment is an important non‐motor manifestation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), particularly across the ALS–frontotemporal dementia (ALS–FTD) spectrum. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau and amyloid biomarkers may reflect nonspecific neurodegenerative injury, concomitant Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology...

State‐Specific Segmental Abnormalities of White Matter Structure and Function in Pediatric Bipolar Disorders

White matter (WM), as the critical infrastructure for neural communication, is implicated in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) pathophysiology. However, the state‐specific abnormalities in the segmental structural and functional properties of adolescent fiber tracts remain unclear.

Dopaminergic‐ and Cholinergic‐Related Structural MRI Patterns Across Cognitive Subtypes of Parkinson's Disease With Mild Cognitive Impairment

The dual syndrome hypothesis distinguishes frontostriatal and posterior cortical cognitive subtypes in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment (PD‐MCI), which are associated with distinct cognitive profiles and different risks of dementia.

Female vulnerability to microvascular transport dysfunction emerges early across the Alzheimer's disease continuum

We tested whether quantitative transport mapping (QTM)‐derived perfusion velocity would detect earlier and more sex‐specific microvascular alterations than cerebral blood flow (CBF) across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.
