123 - Advances in Cognitive & Neuropsychiatric Testing for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis: January 2021

In this episode, Maria covers papers from January 2021 exploring cognitive and neuropsychiatric assessments that can be used to evaluate early AD or progression to AD.  The studies look at tests and questionnaires related to learning and memory, functional status, and neuropsychiatric symptoms, including online adaptations of cognitive assessments when in-person visits are not always possible.  

Sections in this episode:  

Different tests for learning and memory as potential MCI or AD biomarkers (1:54)  

Assessments of function (17:19)  

Neuropsychiatric Tests (20:31)

Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Maria Zhu, reviewed by Naila Kuhlmann, and edited by Michelle Grover.   The bibliography and wordcloud were made by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com).  Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, to our managers Sarah Louadi and Ellen Koch for keeping everything running smoothly, and props to the whole team that works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
