We spoke with Rebecca Edelmayer, PhD, the Alzheimer’s Association Senior Director of Scientific Engagement, about studies presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2022 regarding individual’s life experiences and brain health.
Self-reported physical and cognitive activities are associated with cognitive reserve, especially among women, although the associations are attenuated by APOE4.
Researchers sought to characterize the neuropsychological and lesion traits of patients with stroke who self-reported clinically significant apathy in 1 or more subdomains of the Dimensional Apathy Scale.
