Can smell, gaze, blinking rate, or handwriting offer a window into what happens inside the Alzheimer’s disease brain? Are there parameters we can add to our batteries for assessing cognitive decline in a clinical setting? Missed opportunities in cognitive assessment? Maybe. This episode is dedicated to all kinds of variables that can help orient ourselves on the Alzheimer’s disease continuum, and perhaps predict the progression from MCI to AD. Sections in this episode: Non-Cognitive Variables (6.27) Cognitive Variables (20.28)

Thank you to our sponsor, the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging, or CCNA, for their financial support of this podcast. This helps us to stay on the air and bring you high quality episodes. You can find out more about the CCNA on their website: https://ccna-ccnv.ca/.
Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Sarah Louadi, and reviewed by Jacques Ferreira and Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography and workcloud were also both created 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 December 2021, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Christy Yu, Kate Van Pelt, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Ellen Koch, and Elyn Rowe.
Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Jacques Ferreira 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.
