BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition driven by multifactorial etiology. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional condition between healthy aging and dementia. No reliable biomarkers are available to predict t...
BACKGROUND: In assessing the levels of clinical impairment in dementia, a summary index of neuropsychological batteries has been widely used in describing the overall functional status.
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is common in older adults, is a risk factor for dementia. Rapidly growing health care demand associated with global population aging has spurred the development of new digital tools for the assessmen...

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is the stage between the declining of normal brain function and the more serious decline of dementia. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the leading forms of dementia. Although MCI does not always lead to AD, an early ...
BACKGROUND: It is desirable to achieve acceptable accuracy for computer aided diagnosis system (CADS) to disclose the dementia-related consequences on the brain. Therefore, assessing and measuring these impacts is fundamental in the diagnosis of deme...
BACKGROUND: Identification of factors that may help to preserve cognitive function in late life could elucidate mechanisms and facilitate interventions to improve the lives of millions of people. However, the large number of potential factors associa...
Based on whole-brain gray matter volume (GMV), we used relevance vector regression to predict the Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test Delayed Recall (AVLT-DR) scores of individual amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patient. The whole-brain GMV...
