Charissa Andreotti,James C. Root,Sanne B. Schagen,Brenna C. McDonald,Andrew J. Saykin,Thomas M. Atkinson,Yuelin Li,Tim A. Ahles +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the test-retest reliability of several tests and overarching cognitive domains comprising a neurocognitive battery typical of those used for research and clinical evaluation using relevant time frames.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nicotinic Versus Muscarinic Blockade Alters Verbal Working Memory-Related Brain Activity in Older Women
Julie A. Dumas,Andrew J. Saykin,Andrew J. Saykin,Brenna C. McDonald,Brenna C. McDonald,Thomas W. McAllister,Mary L. Hynes,Paul A. Newhouse +7 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that brain activation patterns are sensitive to cholinergic modulation in postmenopausal women and that differential effects may be observed following nicotinic versus muscarinic blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive gene- and pathway-based analysis of depressive symptoms in older adults
Kwangsik Nho,Vijay K. Ramanan,Emrin Horgusluoglu,Sungeun Kim,Mark Inlow,Shannon L. Risacher,Brenna C. McDonald,Martin R. Farlow,Tatiana Foroud,Sujuan Gao,Christopher M. Callahan,Hugh C. Hendrie,Alexander B. Niculescu,Andrew J. Saykin +13 more
TL;DR: Genetic and pathway analysis revealed enrichment of association in 105 pathways, including multiple pathways related to ERK/MAPK signaling, GSK3 signaling in bipolar disorder, cell development, and immune activation and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
FLAIR lesion volume in multiple sclerosis: relation to processing speed and verbal memory
John J. Randolph,Heather A. Wishart,Andrew J. Saykin,Brenna C. McDonald,Kimberly R. Schuschu,John W. MacDonald,Alexander C. Mamourian,Camilo E. Fadul,Kathleen A. Ryan,Lloyd H. Kasper +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that FLAIR TLV is a useful predictor of commonly impaired cognitive functions in MS, and shows promise as a functionally relevant biomarker for disease status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroimaging, cancer, and cognition: state of the knowledge.
TL;DR: Cancer and chemotherapy are associated with cerebral structural and functional alterations in breast cancer patients that may persist for years; many of these changes are correlated with cognitive complaints or performance.
