TL;DR: A meta-analysis on studies of human health and behavior indicates that mechanical predictions of human behaviors are equal or superior to clinical prediction methods for a wide range of circumstances.

TL;DR: In this group of participants without clinically significant impairment, amyloid deposition was not associated with worse cognitive function, suggesting that an elderly person with a significantAmyloid burden can remain cognitively normal, but this finding is based on relatively small numbers and needs to be replicated in larger cohorts.

TL;DR: Results indicate reliable relative-control differences, in the small to medium effect size range, over a diverse array of tasks, with the largest effect sizes seen in complex versions of continuous performance tasks, auditory verbal learning, design copy tests, and category fluency.

TL;DR: In this study, G. biloba at 120 mg twice a day was not effective in reducing either the overall incidence rate of dementia or AD incidence in elderly individuals with normal cognition or those with mild cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: Postmortem evaluation of tissue from two parents of PS1C410Y subjects in this study confirmed extensive striatal amyloid deposition, along with typical cortical deposition, in these PS1 mutation carriers.
