Cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease is associated with selective changes in calcineurin/NFAT signaling.

12 Oct 2009 Upon activation by calcineurin, the nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) translocates to the nucleus and guides the transcription of numerous molecules involved in inflammation and Ca(2+) dysregulation, both of which are prominent features of ... Read more...

Ventricular dilation: association with gait and cognition.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Normal pressure hydrocephalus is characterized by gait impairment, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence, and is associated with disproportionate ventricular dilation. Here we report the distribution of ventricular volume ... Read more...

Association of white matter lesions and lacunar infarcts with executive functioning: the SMART-MR study.

23 Sep 2009 The authors investigated the association of white matter lesions and lacunar infarcts with cognitive performance and whether brain atrophy mediates these associations. Within the Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease-Magnetic Resonance study ... Read more...
