Cognitive Assessment Tools for Huntington's Disease.
The purpose of the current proposal is to expand understanding of two currently available cognitive tools that are not typically used in Huntington Disease (HD) clinical trials that might be useful both for initial screening and for clinical trial application. One is the Coding Test and the other is the …
Huntington's Disease Biobank: Advancing Remote Monitoring and Deep Phenotyping
This observational study aims to identify novel biomarkers of disease onset and progression in Huntington's disease by integrating remote monitoring with fluid biomarkers. Using video-based computer vision and mobile app-based cognitive assessments combined with machine learning algorithms, we aim to develop markers that can be used by Huntington's disease patients …
Exploring the Gut-Brain Axis in Ageing and Neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative diseases are a major health concern due to their growing societal implications and economic costs. The identification of early markers of pathogenic mechanisms is one of the current main challenges. The gut-brain axis has become a primary target because of its transversal role across the neurodegenerative spectrum and its …
Digital Measures for Clinical Trial Endpoints in Huntington's Disease
MEND-HD is a longitudinal study evaluating the feasibility of passive monitoring of gait and chorea in patients with HD and the meaningfulness of these outcomes for patients with HD and their care partners/support persons. Participants will take part in four virtual visits with study investigators to answer survey questions on …
Cognitive and Vascular Functioning Following TBI
This observational study will examine the association of chronic traumatic cerebrovascular injury and cardiovascular risk factors with TBI-related cognitive impairment and vascular dementia. Cerebrovascular, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative blood biomarkers as well as clinical and neuroimaging data
WHIte MAtter Hyperintensity Shape and Glymphatics
In a society with increased life expectancy, the economic, social and personal burden of dementia increases. Dementia is often caused by a combination of neurovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Impaired brain clearance is suggested to be closely related to dementia development, as waste products (e.g. amyloid beta) accumulate in the brain, …
Discovery and Validation of Protein Structural Complexes in Circulating Biofluids As Novel Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Management of Patients Affected by Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), such as Parkinson¿s disease (PD), Alzheimer¿s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are characterized by aggregation and intracellular accumulation of misfolded proteins, which are believed to play a key role in synaptic dysfunction and neuronal death. Protein structural complexes in biofluids have been …
Diagnosing Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
To establish diagnostic tools to make an accurate clinical and pathological diagnosis of patients with clinical FTLD syndromes
The Neurobiology of Two Distinct Types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech
The purpose of this study is to identify and distinguish two different types of Progressive Apraxia of Speech through clinical imaging and testing.
Identification of Prodromal Neurodegeneration in Serotonergic-Induced REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
This project will test the hypotheses that people with 5-HT RBD have systemic alphasynuclein pathology, prodromal DLB signs, and brainstem lesions in regions that control REM sleep. AIM 1 will seek to detect abnormally phosphorylated alpha- synuclein aggregates on targeted skin biopsy in a cohort of people with 5-HT RBD …
