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.

Gary G. Briggs,Robert D. Nebes +1 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability and validity of some handedness questionnaire items
TL;DR: Twenty-three items have been scaled for reliability and validity and for the frequency of right hand preference by predominantly left handed people and certain items are recommended for inclusion on future handedness questionnaires.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meryl A. Butters,Ellen M. Whyte,Robert D. Nebes,Amy E. Begley,Mary Amanda Dew,Benoit H. Mulsant,Michelle D. Zmuda,Rishi K. Bhalla,Carolyn C. Meltzer,Bruce G. Pollock,Charles F. Reynolds,James T. Becker +11 more
TL;DR: Late-life depression is characterized by slowed information processing, which affects all realms of cognition, and this supports the concept that frontostriatal dysfunction plays a key role in LLD.
Journal ArticleDOI
