Associations between recall of proper names in story recall and CSF amyloid and tau in adults without cognitive impairment
Neuropsychological measures sensitive to decline in the preclinical phase of Alzheimer’s disease are needed. We previously demonstrated that higher amyloid-beta (Aβ) assessed by positron emission tomography in adults without cognitive impairment was associated with recall of fewer proper names in Logical Memory story recall. The current study investigated the association between proper names and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (Aβ42/40, phosphorylated tau181 [pTau181], neurofilament light) in 223 participants from the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention. We assessed associations between biomarkers and delayed Logical Memory total score and proper names using binary logistic regressions. Sensitivity analyses used multinomial logistic regression and stratified biomarker groups. Lower Logical Memory total score and proper names scores from the most recent visit were associated with …

Associations Between Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Factors and Post-stroke Cognitive Decline (P2-5.028)
Objective We sought to determine whether atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors assessed post-stroke are associated with post-stroke cognitive decline. Background Eleven ASCVD risk factors, which include high blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, have been associated with cognitive impairment in stroke-free adults. It is unclear whether such risk factors are associated with similar cognitive implications in individuals who have suffered an ischemic stroke. Post-stroke levels of these risk factors could accelerate future cognitive impairments. Design/Methods Ischemic stroke patients (n= 31, 10 female, 21 male, mean age= 66.0 years±11.0 years, mean days since stroke= 57.7 days±28.9 days, 51.6% MCA territory) were administered the MarkVCID neuropsychological battery assessing language, visual perception, memory, and executive function. Raw scores …

Longitudinal normative standards for cognitive tests and composites using harmonized data from two Wisconsin AD‐risk‐enriched cohorts
INTRODUCTION Published norms are typically cross‐sectional and often are not sensitive to preclinical cognitive changes due to dementia. We developed and validated demographically adjusted cross‐sectional and longitudinal normative standards using harmonized outcomes from two Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk‐enriched cohorts. METHODS Data from the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention and the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center were combined. Quantile regression was used to develop unconditional (cross‐sectional) and conditional (longitudinal) normative standards for 18 outcomes using data from cognitively unimpaired participants (N = 1390; mean follow‐up = 9.25 years). Validity analyses (N = 2456) examined relationships between percentile scores (centiles), consensus‐based cognitive statuses, and AD biomarker levels. RESULTS Unconditional and conditional …

A comparison of story-recall metrics to predict hippocampal volume in older adults with and without cognitive impairment
Objective: Process-based scores of episodic memory tests, such as the recency ratio (Rr), have been found to compare favourably to, or to be better than, most conventional or “traditional” scores employed to estimate memory ability in older individuals (Bock et al., ; Bruno et al., ). We explored the relationship between process-based scores and hippocampal volume in older adults, while comparing process-based to traditional story recall-derived scores, to examine potential differences in their predictive abilities. Methods: We analysed data from 355 participants extracted from the WRAP and WADRC databases, who were classified as cognitively unimpaired, or exhibited mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. Story Recall was measured with the Logical Memory Test (LMT) from the Weschler Memory Scale Revised, collected within twelve months of the magnetic resonance imaging scan. Linear regression …

Abstract TP40: Identification of Domain-Specific Cognitive Phenotypes of Post Stroke Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Introduction: Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) are variably expressed following stroke. The purpose of this investigation is to identify the domain-specific cognitive phenotypes of VCID in the acute and sub-acute post-stroke interval measured using the Mark VCID battery. Methods: Mark VCID neurocognitive test battery was administered to 33 patients with incident ischemic stroke in the left (n=15), right (n=17), and bilateral (n=1) hemispheres including the anterior and middle cerebral artery territory, and 39 age and sex matched healthy controls (HC). Participants ranged in age from 42 to 88 years (Patient M=65.64 yrs, Control M=64.97 yrs). Patient group consisted of 17 males and 22 females, and the control group had 20 males and 13 females. Mean post stroke interval was 8 weeks (Range: 2.5 to 19 weeks). The test battery assessed: language (naming, fluency), perception (facial …

Long-term characterization of cognitive phenotypes in children with seizures over 36 months
RationaleChildren with new-onset epilepsies often exhibit co-morbidities including cognitive dysfunction, which adversely affects academic performance. Application of unsupervised machine learning techniques has demonstrated the presence of discrete cognitive phenotypes at or near the time of diagnosis, but there is limited knowledge of their longitudinal trajectories. Here we investigate longitudinally the presence and progression of cognitive phenotypes and academic status in youth with new-onset seizures as sibling controls.Methods282 subjects (6–16 years) were recruited within 6 weeks of their first recognized seizure along with 167 unaffected siblings. Each child underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment at baseline, 18 and 36 months later. Factor analysis of the neuropsychological tests revealed four underlying domains – language, processing speed, executive function, and verbal …

Normative and individual, non-normative intrinsic networks and the transition to impaired cognition
Despite their temporal lobe pathology, a significant subgroup of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients are able to maintain normative cognitive functioning. Here, we identify TLE patients with intact versus impaired cognitive profiles, and interrogate for the presence of both normative and highly individual intrinsic connectivity networks(ICN) all towards understanding the transition from impaired to intact neurocognitive status. We retrospectively investigated data from 88 TLE patients and matched 91 healthy controls with resting-state functional MRI. Functional MRI data were decomposed using independent component analysis to obtain individualized ICNs. Here, we calculated the degree of match between individualized ICNs and canonical ICNs (e.g., Yeo et.al 17 resting-state network) and divided each participant's ICNs into normative or non-normative status based on the degree of match. We found that the individualized networks matched the canonical networks less well in the cognitively impaired compared to the cognitively intact TLE patients. The cognitively impaired patients showed significant abnormalities in the profiles of both normative and non-normative networks, whereas the intact patients showed abnormalities only in non-normative networks. At the same time, we found normative networks held a strong, positive association with the neuropsychological measures, with this association negative in non-normative networks. We were able to provide the initial data demonstrating that significant cognitive deficits are associated with the status of highly-individual ICNs, making clear that the transition from intact to impaired cognitive status is …

Cognitive profile in multiple sclerosis and post-COVID condition: a comparative study using a unified taxonomy
Post-COVID condition (PCC) and multiple sclerosis (MS) share some clinical and demographic features, including cognitive symptoms and fatigue. Some pathophysiological mechanisms well-known in MS, such as autoimmunity, neuroinflammation and myelin damage, have also been implicated in PCC. In this study, we aimed to compare the cognitive phenotypes of two large cohorts of patients with PCC and MS, and to evaluate the relationship between fatigue and cognitive performance. Cross-sectional study including 218 patients with PCC and 218 with MS matched by age, sex, and years of education. Patients were evaluated with a comprehensive neuropsychological protocol and were categorized according to the International Classification of Cognitive Disorders system. Fatigue and depression were also assessed. Cognitive profiles of PCC and MS largely overlapped, with a greater impairment in episodic …
