Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropsychological Criteria for Mild Cognitive Impairment Improves Diagnostic Precision, Biomarker Associations, and Progression Rates

TL;DR: The need for refinement of MCI diagnoses to incorporate more comprehensive neuropsychological methods is supported, with resulting gains in empirical characterization of specific cognitive phenotypes, biomarker associations, stability of diagnoses, and prediction of progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries

Paul M. Thompson, +213 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying the human brain in health and disease, and highlights the advantages of collaborative large-scale coordinated data analyses for testing reproducibility and robustness of findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural brain abnormalities in the common epilepsies assessed in a worldwide ENIGMA study.

Christopher D. Whelan, +105 more
- 01 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: In the largest neuroimaging study to date, Whelan and colleagues report robust structural alterations across and within epilepsy syndromes, including shared volume loss in the thalamus, and widespread cortical thickness differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional rates of neocortical atrophy from normal aging to early Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: Atrophy is not uniform across regions, nor does it follow a linear trajectory, so knowledge of the spatial pattern and rate of decline across the spectrum from normal aging to Alzheimer disease can provide valuable information for detecting early disease and monitoring treatment effects at different stages of disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of radiotherapy-associated cognitive disability in patients with brain tumours

TL;DR: Evidence of acute radiation-triggered CNS inflammation, injury to neuronal lineages, accessory cells and their progenitors, and loss of supporting structure integrity is presented, which could synergistically alter the signalling microenvironment in progenitor cell niches in the brain and the hippocampus, which is a structure critical to memory and cognition.
