A large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) from 94,437 individuals identifies new LOAD risk loci and implicates Aβ formation, tau protein binding, immune response and lipid metabolism.
Recognition of facial expressions of emotions in school‐age children: the intersection of perceptual and semantic categories

Two distinct patterns of development are found in the development of emotional facial recognition in a large sample of school‐aged children and it is suggested that these different profiles are a consequence of the very different cognitive abilities that they recruit.

- 1 April 2012
This review and meta-analysis raises the question about whether hippocampal volume reduction in schizophrenia is of neurodevelopmental origin and investigates the role of the factors “illness phase” and “side” on hippocampalVolume reduction.
Anosognosia for hemiplegia after stroke is a multifaceted phenomenon: a systematic review of the literature.
- M. D. Orfei, R. Robinson, G. Spalletta

The need for a multidimensional assessment procedure for anosognosia following stroke is highlighted and some potentially productive directions for future research about unawareness of illness are suggested.
Hyperexcitability of parietal-motor functional connections in the intact left-hemisphere of patients with neglect.
- G. Koch, M. Oliveri, C. Caltagirone
- Biology, PsychologyBrain : a journal of neurology
- 1 December 2008
It is found that excitability of left PPC-M1 circuits was higher in neglect patients than the other groups, and related to the degree of neglect on clinical cancellation tests, with implications for possible treatment.
Relativistic Compression and Expansion of Experiential Time in the Left and Right Space

Investigating whether duration judgments of digit visual stimuli are biased depending on the side of space where the stimuli are presented and on the magnitude of the stimulus itself showed that, regardless of digit magnitude, duration of stimuli presented in the left hemispace is underestimated and that of stimuliPresented in the right hemispaces is overestimated.
Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease
- R. Sims, S. J. van der Lee, G. Schellenberg
- BiologyNature Genetics
- 1 September 2017
Three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease are observed, providing additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
