233 - Clinical Markers of Alzheimer's Disease Part 1: September 2021

You may have come across a variety of exams used to test cognitive function and assess cognitive decline, such as the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination, the mini mental state exam, the clock drawing test, and many more. So how are we doing with these? And how well do they apply in special populations such as people with intellectual disability? Is there room for racial bias in how they are administered? And what translated tests were recently validated? These are topics addressed by papers published in September 2021 in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, presented in the first of this 2-part episode.

Sections in this episode:

Evaluating Existing Cognitive Tests (9:19)

Evaluating Cognitive Tests in Specific Populations (37:19)

Evaluating a Translation of an Existing Cognitive Test (45:14)

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted & hosted by Sarah Louadi, edited by Michelle Grover, and reviewed by Jacques Ferreira. The bibliography and the wordcloud were made by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For September 2021, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Ellen Koch, Christy Yu, Sarah Louadi, Kate Van Pelt, Nicole Corso, Eden Dubchak, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, and Elyn Rowe.

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Jacques Ferreira, and Shruti Kochhar for keeping everything running smoothly.

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.
