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, …
Diagnosing Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
To establish diagnostic tools to make an accurate clinical and pathological diagnosis of patients with clinical FTLD syndromes
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 …
Decoding the Cognitive Trajectory of Hong Kong SuperAgers: a Longitudinal Follow-up Study
This is a prospective follow-up study conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The participants, including high-performing elderly (SuperAgers), normal ageing elderly and neurocognitive disorder (NCD) patients will be re-invited from our previous cohort (2013-2014) (N=488).
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.
Phenotype, Genotype and Biomarkers 2
The purpose of this study is to learn more about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other related neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) and multisystem proteinopathy (MSP). More precisely, the investigator wants to identify the links that exist …
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 …
Gait Analysis in Neurological Disease
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether speed-dependent measures of gait can be identified in patients with neurological conditions that affect gait, particularly in subjects with parkinsonian disorders.
Exploring the Olfactory Mucosa, Blood and Urine for the Identification of Early Biomarkers of Parkinson's Disease, Atypical Parkinsonisms and Neurocognitive Disorders Due to Lewy Body Disease
Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is challenging, especially in the early stages. Each disease is associated with distinct conformers of misfolded alpha-synuclein (maS) which form typical protein aggregates in the brain and represent key disease biomarkers. Thus, detection and …
