Mcr32-015 | Atrial Fibrillation as a Determinant of Brain Health: Multimodal Evidence Supports Stroke-Dependent and Stroke-Independent Effects | ||||||||||||||||||
| Quote: | Associations with vascular and all-cause dementia were attenuated by adjustment for cardiovascular risk-factors and stroke. Genetic analyses supported ischaemic stroke as a major driver of dementia risk in AF. Conclusion Associations with grey matter and cognitive impairment persisted after accounting for stroke, whereas the association with dementia was largely explained by ischaemic stroke. This highlights the potential for AF to impact brain health through both stroke-dependent and stroke-independent mechanisms; stroke prevention is necessary but may not be sufficient to fully address the broader burden of AF-associated brain injury. | ||||||||||||||||||

Mge32-022 | Classification of ACE variants related to Alzheimers disease (AD): the ACE mutations " AD browser | ||||||||||||||||||
| Quote: |
Background ACE variants are genetic risk factors for Alzheimers disease
(AD), potentially through reduced enzymatic activity and impaired
amyloid-#946; hydrolysis....
Conclusions Variants associated with reduced blood ACE levels were estimated to be carried by approximately 1 in 25 individuals in the general population. This frequency is of the same order of magnitude as the 13.2 prevalence of Alzheimers dementia in individuals aged 7584 years (Alzheimers Association, 2025), consistent with the hypothesis that ACE deficiency may represent an underrecognized contributor to late-onset AD susceptibility. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Quote: | Background and Objectives. Prion disease is an untreatable, typically rapidly progressive dementia. New drug candidates designed to lower prion protein are now entering clinical trials. To support future pivotal trials, we sought to assemble and analyze a public dataset of natural history data characterizing the symptomatic course of prion disease in order to provide a quantitative basis for modelling and rational trial design. | ||||||||||||||||||

Mpy32-002 | Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation regulates subjective fear in naturalistic contexts via modulation of prefrontal neural dynamics | ||||||||||||||||||
| Quote: | ehaviorally, taVNS significantly attenuated fear responses during four threat phases by content analysis: T1 (ghost appearance), T2 (escape sequence), T3 (sudden threat emergence) and T4 (suicide scene). Neurally, taVNS suppressed medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) activation during escape (T2) and disrupted the typical fear coupling between fear experience and brain activity. Furthermore, taVNS enhanced intra-mPFC functional connectivity, suggesting a potential neural basis for modulating subjective threat appraisal. Additionally, state anxiety significantly moderated brain-behavior relationships. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Quote: | At the large-scale network level, OT increased communication between frontoparietal/default-mode control networks and subcortical/limbic networks during high fear indicating more integrative fear regulation. A whole-brain fear neuromarker (CAFE) further confirmed intensity-dependent OT effects. Together, these findings indicate that OT modulates post-exposure fear experience and fear-related neural dynamics in ecologically valid contexts. | ||||||||||||||||||

Sd321-037 | Scientists Say Just 7 Days of Meditation Can Rewire Your Brain | ||||||||||||||||||
| Quote: | "Weve known for years that practices like meditation can influence health, but whats striking is that combining multiple mind-body practices into a single retreat produced changes across so many biological systems that we could measure directly in the brain and blood," said senior study author Hemal H. Patel, Ph.D., professor of anesthesiology at UC San Diego School of Medicine and research career scientist at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System. "This isnt about just stress relief or relaxation; this is about fundamentally changing how the brain engages with reality and quantifying these changes biologically." | ||||||||||||||||||
| Comment: | Those who relax and reflect live far easier lives than those who only react to the immediate. The brain just works better when relaxed and not hepped up on alcohol or coffee. | ||||||||||||||||||

Sd322-005 | Exercise May Help the Aging Brain Take Out the Trash | ||||||||||||||||||
| Quote: |
Regular exercise may help the brain clear away harmful waste that can
build up with age. Researchers found that physical activity supports
several processes linked to the brains glymphatic cleanup system,
including better sleep, lower inflammation, and healthier blood
vessels. Because this waste-removal system becomes increasingly
important as we get older, exercise could play a meaningful role in
protecting against cognitive decline....
These benefits include reducing blood pressure and vascular stiffness, improving the activation of neurons in the brain, reducing inflammation in the brain, lowering resting norepinephrine, and improving sleep. Exercise may also increase the quality of deep sleep and enhance slow wave activity associated with brain waste clearance. | ||||||||||||||||||
