Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment in Late Life.

TLDR
Autopsy studies disclose the common co-occurrence of vascular and neurodegenerative conditions, suggesting that in late life, a multifactorial approach to cognitive impairment may be more appropriate than traditional dichotomous classifications.

Nutrition and prevention of cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: Evidence of an association between nutrition and cognitive outcomes is somehow stronger for healthy dietary patterns than for individual nutrients and food groups, possibly because of the cumulative beneficial effects of the many ingredients in these diets.

The Revised National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's Neuropathology Form-Available Data and New Analyses.

TL;DR: The NACC Neuropathology data set as mentioned in this paper represents one of the largest multi-center databases of carefully curated neuropathologic information that is freely available to researchers worldwide, including cognitive test scores, comorbidities, drug history, neuroimaging, and links to genomics.

Update on Vascular Cognitive Impairment Associated with Subcortical Small-Vessel Disease

TL;DR: Subcortical small-vessel disease is considered the most prevalent ischemic brain disorder, increasing in frequency with age, and in comparison with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), patients with SSVD show less pronounced episodic memory deficits.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: This scientific statement provides an overview of the evidence on vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia and provides evidence that subcortical forms of VCI with white matter hyperintensities and small deep infarcts are common and risk markers for VCI are the same as traditional risk factors for stroke.
