AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

102 - Cognitive or Clinical Indicators of Alzheimer's Disease Part 1: September 2020

Episode Summary

This episode, hosted by Naila, covers papers published in September 2020 that use cognitive testing as a diagnostic tool. These studies vary from validating and comparing existing tests, to refining them for specific applications, to correlating cognition with AD biomarkers. You’ll learn a bit about the variety of cognitive tests used, and how researchers are constantly building on existing tools to better predict the risk and progression of cognitive decline. Sections: Cognition & Imaging: 1.46 Validation & Refinement of Existing Tests: 6.30 Spatial & Facial Tests: 15.05 Specific Populations: 21.18 New Tools: 25.50

Today's episode was scripted by Vyshnavy Balendra, Kathryn Fong, and Naila Kuhlmann, hosted by Naila Kuhlmann, and edited by Sarah Louadi and Anusha Kamesh. Big thanks to Elyn Rowe and Jacques Ferreira for sorting all the papers published in September into themes for our episodes, and props to the 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.
