Alzheimer's disease as homeostatic responses to age-related myelin breakdown

TLDR
This work delineates empirically testable mechanisms of action for genes underlying FAD and LOAD and provides "upstream" treatment targets and reframes key observations such as axonal transport disruptions, formation of axonal swellings/sphenoids and neuritic plaques, and proteinaceous deposits as by-products of homeostatic myelin repair processes.

The connectomics of brain disorders

TL;DR: This work considers how brain-network topology shapes neural responses to damage, highlighting key maladaptive processes and the resources and processes that enable adaptation, and shows how knowledge of network topology allows for predictive models of the spread and functional consequences of brain disease.

The Cellular Phase of Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: Evidence supporting a long, complex cellular phase consisting of feedback and feedforward responses of astrocytes, microglia, and vasculature is reviewed.

Intramuscular desferrioxamine in patients with Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: In this paper, a single-blind study was conducted to investigate whether the progression of dementia could be slowed by the trivalent ion chelator, desferrioxamine.

White matter characterization with diffusional kurtosis imaging.

TL;DR: A physically meaningful interpretation of DKI metrics in white matter regions consisting of more or less parallel aligned fiber bundles is provided by modeling the tissue as two non-exchanging compartments, the intra-axonal space and extra-AXonal space.

Cytological and quantitative characteristics of four cerebral commissures in the rhesus monkey.

TL;DR: The number, types, and distribution of distinct classes of axons and glia in four cerebral commissures of the adult rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) were determined using electron microscopic and immunocytochemical methods.

Plasma cortisol and progression of dementia in subjects with Alzheimer-type dementia.

TL;DR: Higher HPA activity, as reflected by increased plasma cortisol levels, is associated with more rapid disease progression in subjects with Alzheimer-type dementia.
