Clock drawing performance in cognitively normal elderly.
The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is a common neuropsychological measure sensitive to cognitive changes and functional skills (e.g., driving test performance) among older adults. However, normative data have not been adequately developed. We report the distribution of CDT scores using three common scoring systems [Mendez, M. F., Ala, T., & Underwood, K. L. (1992). Development of scoring criteria for...
متن کاملAge Effects on Cortical Thickness in Cognitively Normal Elderly Individuals
BACKGROUND/AIMS Atrophy in both grey and white matter is found in normal aging. The prefrontal cortex and the frontal lobe white matter are thought to be the most affected regions. Our aim was to examine the effects of normal aging on cortical grey matter using a 3D quantitative cortical mapping method. METHODS We analyzed 1.5-tesla brain magnetic resonance imaging data from 44 cognitively no...
متن کاملTau, APP, NCT and BACE1 in lymphocytes through cognitively normal ageing and neuropathology.
Although Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder, a number of peripheral alterations have been found in these patients; however, little is known about how the key genes involved in the pathophysiology express in peripheral cells such as lymphocytes during normal compared to neuropathological ageing. We analysed the expression of tau, of the amyloid precursor protein, of nicastrin and of the β-s...
متن کاملA new data analysis approach for measuring longitudinal changes of metabolism in cognitively normal elderly adults
Introduction Previously, we discussed several critical barriers in including [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG-PET) imaging of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects. These factors included the reference region selection and intensity normalization of PET images and the within- and across-subject variability of affected brain regions. In this study, we utili...
متن کاملFunctional impact of white matter hyperintensities in cognitively normal elderly subjects.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact white matter hyperintensities (WMH) detected on magnetic resonance imaging have on motor dysfunction and cognitive impairment in elderly subjects without dementia. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Population-based study on the incidence and prevalence of cognitive impairment in Olmsted County, Minnesota. PARTICIPANTS A total of 148 elderly subjects...
