In Part 3 of the August 2020 Risk Factors episodes, Naila will take you through research on how education and other cognitive factors can influence cognitive decline in later life, tell you about the positive effects of social and family support systems, and discuss papers that examine multiple risk factors at once, in an attempt to get a more complete picture of the complex genetic and environmental interactions that cause AD. She will end with a couple miscellaneous papers that didn’t fit into our sub-themes. Enjoy!

Judy is here to update you on the latest research on detecting amyloid and tau in the brain to diagnose AD in living patients, or to detect AD in post-mortem brain tissue. This includes papers on the latest advances in PET and MRI imaging to detect these proteins, new tracers, and even a few papers on how amyloid and tau pathology may relate to cognitive decline and sex differences in AD. Enjoy!

In part 2 of our Risk Factors episodes for August 2020, Naila will go over papers on comorbidities associated with AD, hormonal factors that may explain some of the sex differences in AD risk, and how sleep relates to various aspects of AD. You’ll learn about various approaches to determining AD risk and prevalence in humans, and will also get a view of how the mechanisms of risk factors are studied in animal models. We hope you enjoy!

Anusha updates you on the papers from August 2020 studying cognitive and behavioural changes that occur in Alzheimer's disease and how they relate to disease mechanisms and pathology. This includes research looking at people with AD or mild cognitive impairment, as well as animal models of this disease. Tune in to hear about all this interesting new research!

Anusha is here to tell you about papers published in August 2020 on a range of topics in synaptic transmission, including changes to cholinergic signalling, glutamate signalling, synaptic plasticity, and connectivity in the context of AD. As well, she ends with a few papers that investigate sex differences in AD, which is very important in the context of studying disease mechanisms and developing effective treatments for both sexes. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Naila kicks off the August 2020 series of AMiNDR! This is part 1 of 3 of our episodes covering papers from this past August on risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. This includes the latest research on factors such as diet, weight, obesity, diabetes, and vascular disease, and how they may impact the risk of AD and memory decline. Enjoy this episode, and look out for many more coming out soon on this topic and more!

Ellen tells you about the papers on amyloid and tau detection in the brain, from June 2020! This includes studies on PET imaging in humans, PET and MRI imaging in animals, developing fluorescent and antibody probes, and more! Very interesting stuff, we hope you enjoy. This episode finishes off our series covering the papers in June 2020!

In this episode, Sarah covers a wide array of papers on biomarkers in AD! You may have listened to our other episodes on this topic (blood and CSF biomarkers). This one gathers the papers that did not fit in those categories, and you're in for a treat: TDP-43, C-reactive protein, epoxide hydrolase, cholinesterase activity, lipids, and more!

Enjoy.

Elyn is back to cover other fluid biomarkers found in the CSF in AD, as well as biomarkers found elsewhere! You will hear about neurofilament light, hormones, synaptic markers, staging MCI... Some papers on imaging also somehow made it here (surprise).

Enjoy the episode and keep your eye out for more biomarker episodes coming very soon!
