Effects of Physical Activity Training in Patients with Alzheimer’s Dementia: Results of a Pilot RCT Study
Vjera Holthoff,Kira Marschner,Maria Scharf,Julius Steding,Shirin Meyer,Rainer Koch,Markus Donix +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PA in a home-based setting might be an effective and intrinsically attractive way to promote PA training in AD and modulate caregiver burden.
Longitudinal changes in medial temporal cortical thickness in normal subjects with the APOE-4 polymorphism.

TL;DR: Significant greater cortical thinning in the subiculum and entorhinal cortex of APOE-4 carriers when compared to non-carriers of the allele is found, consistent with the hypothesis that carrying the APoe-4 allele renders subjects at a higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.

Family history of Alzheimer's disease and hippocampal structure in healthy people.
Markus Donix,Alison C. Burggren,Nanthia Suthana,Prabha Siddarth,Arne D. Ekstrom,Allison K. Krupa,Michael N. Jones,Laurel Martin-Harris,Linda M. Ercoli,Karen J. Miller,Gary W. Small,Susan Y. Bookheimer +11 more
TL;DR: Family history of Alzheimer's disease and APOE-4 status were associated with a thinner cortex in the entorhinal region, subiculum, and adjacent medial temporal lobe subfields, and, although these associations were additive, family history of dementia explained a greater proportion of the unique variance in cortical thickness than APoe-4 carrier status.
APOE associated hemispheric asymmetry of entorhinal cortical thickness in aging and Alzheimer's disease
Markus Donix,Markus Donix,Alison C. Burggren,Maria Scharf,Maria Scharf,Kira Marschner,Kira Marschner,Nanthia Suthana,Prabha Siddarth,Allison K. Krupa,Michael N. Jones,Laurel Martin-Harris,Linda M. Ercoli,Karen J. Miller,Annett Werner,Rüdiger von Kummer,Cathrin Sauer,Gary W. Small,Vjera Holthoff,Vjera Holthoff,Susan Y. Bookheimer +20 more
TL;DR: Whether carrying the APOE-4 allele influences hemispheric asymmetry in the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus among patients with Alzheimer's disease as well as in middle-aged and older cognitively healthy individuals is investigated.

TL;DR: This study investigated hippocampal subfield activity in healthy participants using an associative memory paradigm during high-resolution fMRI scanning at 7 T and was able to localize fMRI activity to anterior CA2 and CA3 during learning and to the posterior CA2 field, the CA1, and the posterior subiculum during retrieval of novel associations.
