TL;DR: Unilateral DBS in both STN and GPi improved QoL overall and in disparate domains 6 months after surgery, and patients receiving GPi DBS reported greater improvements that cannot be explained by differential mood or motor effects.

TL;DR: Modated mediation models characterized direct and indirect effects of race on episodic memory and executive function composite scores through economic, health, and psychosocial variables as a function of age group, finding that perceived discrimination was a weaker mediator among young adults and education was a stronger mediator at younger ages.

TL;DR: Power et al. as discussed by the authors characterized the interrelation of known dementia-related neuropathologies in one comprehensive model and quantified the extent to which accumulation of neuropathology accounts for the association between age and dementia.

TL;DR: The residual reserve variable was associated with higher reading ability, lower likelihood of meeting criteria for mild cognitive impairment, lower odds of dementia conversion independent of age, and less decline in language abilities over 3 years, and moderate the negative impact of memory variance explained by brain pathology on language decline.
