In a retrospective memory-clinic cohort, greater MRI-derived brain age was associated with dementia progression among patients with subjective cognitive decline, although its incremental predictive value was limited and external validation remains necessary.

Interviews with older adults living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment highlighted recurring communication gaps surrounding driving cessation, suggesting that earlier, structured discussions and transition planning may better support patients and families during a highly personal decision.

Frontal tau accumulation was associated with disrupted deep-sleep slow waves and poorer episodic memory performance in older adults, offering a potential physiological link between Alzheimer’s-related pathology and age-related memory decline.

In a specialty-clinic cohort of 2,329 adults with Neuro-PASC, females reported more neurologic symptoms, greater fatigue, and, among nonhospitalized patients, poorer attention than males approximately 16 months after symptom onset.

Baseline activity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and right precuneus during working memory and emotion-regulation tasks was associated with depression severity one year later in young adults at elevated risk for affective disorders, but not with future mania symptoms.

Developmental topographical disorientation (DTD) is a rare condition characterized by lifelong difficulty navigating familiar environments despite otherwise intact cognition. The article highlights how preserved landmark recognition can coexist with an inability to form accurate cognitive maps, creating significant functional impairment that may be mistaken for acquired neurologic disease.
