Article Abstract
Background: Previous cross-sectional work has suggested that higher cognitive reserve (CR) is associated with better cognitive performance and slower cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, these findings need confirmation in prospective longitudinal designs. The current study therefore examined how CR influences both cognitive function and the rate of cognitive deterioration in a longitudinal PD cohort.
Methods: This study utilized a prospective, longitudinal design and recruited participants from Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between September 2017-September 2019. PD patients were followed up for clinical assessment at an average of 2 ± 0.6 years.
Results: Higher CR levels were associated with better cognitive performance and reduced cognitive decline over a 2-year follow-up period. Linear regression analysis revealed significant positive associations between CR and the 2-year change rate of Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scores, with age and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype being significant predictors. Logistic regression indicated that CR Index (CRI) components (education, working activity, and leisure time) and intelligence quotient (IQ) were independently associated with cognitive decline risk.
Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of CR in mitigating cognitive decline in PD and suggests that interventions to enhance CR could be beneficial for PD patients. Future research should focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms and developing targeted interventions to support cognitive health in PD.

Association between medium-chain triglyceride intake and Functional Independence Measure-cognition score in adults following stroke: A retrospective cohort study.
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr

Center for Sarcopenia and Malnutrition Research, Kumamoto Rehabilitation Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan.
Background: Limited evidence exists regarding the cognitive and physical improvement effects of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) intake in patients with stroke. This study aimed to investigate the association between MCT-enhanced rice consumption and enhancements in outcomes, including cognitive level, in patients following stroke.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on adults admitted to a rehabilitation center with cognitive decline following acute stroke.
ABCA7 variants impact phosphatidylcholine and mitochondria in neurons.

Loss-of-function variants in the lipid transporter ABCA7 substantially increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, yet how they impact cellular states to drive disease remains unclear. Here, using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing analysis of human brain samples, we identified widespread gene expression changes across multiple neural cell types associated with rare ABCA7 loss-of-function variants. Excitatory neurons, which expressed the highest levels of ABCA7, showed disrupted lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair and synaptic signalling pathways.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.

Introduction: Despite decades of research and intervention, aggressive driving behavior (ADB) remains a prevalent risk on our roads. This study aimed to systematically review how drivers' personality traits, perceptual tendencies, self-regulatory capacity, and psychological functioning, have been linked to the engagement of ADBs.
Method: Under guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, a literature search was performed in four databases, followed by a manual search in Google Scholar.
Accelerated long-term forgetting as a predictor of clinical onset in presymptomatic autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), sensitive measures of cognitive decline prior to overt symptoms are urgently needed. Accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF), where new information is retained normally over conventional testing intervals but is then lost at an accelerated rate over the following days and weeks, has been identified cross-sectionally in presymptomatic autosomal dominant and sporadic AD cohorts. We aimed to assess whether ALF testing is predictive of proximity to future symptom onset.
