Memory and Social Interactions
Memory and social interaction are intimately linked. On the one hand, social interaction is a privileged context for learning, and on the other hand, appropriate social interactions involve remembering the partners encountered and previous exchanges. People with Alzheimer's disease classic syndrome variant (AD) have a major impairment of episodic memory, …
Assessment of Foralumab Safety and Modulation of Microglial Activation in Alzheimer's Disease
This phase 2a study will research the safety and tolerability of Foralumab, a human anti-CD3 antibody. An antibody is a molecule secreted by the immune system. These molecules are created to identify a specific pathogen. Previous data on experimental mice has suggested that Foralumab increases the immune system activity in …
Safety Assessment of Leronlimab and Its Effect on Brain Inflammation in Alzheimer's Disease
The present study will administer the drug leronlimab to 20 participants who are above 50 years old with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD. While leronlimab is considered safe in other diseases like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and certain types of cancer, its safety and …
Tanycytes in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia
Metabolic and hormonal deregulations are both a risk factor and a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), occurring early in the course of the disease. In FTD in particular, hyperorality and dietary changes are associated with metabolic and hormonal changes such as altered levels of the anorexigenic …
First-in-Human Evaluation of an Astrocytic Glutamate Transporter (EAAT2) PET Tracer in Dementia
This is a first in human study that will assess the safety and diagnostic performance of \[18F\]RP-115 (fluorine-18 labeled RP115), a positron emission tomography (PET) agent. This agent has the potential to identify the early changes that occur in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia …
Environmental Pollutants and Neurological Disorders
Environmental pollutants have emerged as a major global health concern, with growing evidence linking exposure to both traditional contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and novel pollutants-including micro- and nanoplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals-to adverse neurological outcomes. These pollutants can cross or …
Advantage of Cerebellar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Alzheimer's Diseases （ACT-AD）
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia, with its prominent feature being cognitive decline. The cerebellum plays a crucial role in cognitive processing, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cerebellar Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (CRB-iTBS) …
Nabilone for Agitation Blinded Intervention Trial
This study will look at whether nabilone is an effective treatment for agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Agitation is highly prevalent in patients with AD and is one of the most distressing and challenging-to-treat symptoms. Agitation is associated with faster progression to institutionalization, increased caregiver burden, poorer quality of …
The Effects of Specific tDCS on Cognition in MCI
INTRODUCTION Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a critical transitional stage in dementia related disorders. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and the lateral parietal (LPC) cortex are subjected to neuropathological changes in MCI. Parietal memory network (PMN) integrity alterations and default mode network (DMN) alterations also occur in MCI. Transcranial direct current …
An Exploratory Study to Confirm Efficacy of Modified Deep Cervical Lymphovenous Anastomosis (LVA) in Alzheimer's Disease/ Parkinson's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterized by pathological protein accumulation in the brain-Aβ/tau in AD and α-synuclein in PD. Recent studies have indicated that age-related lymphatic vessel atrophy compromises the metabolic clearance capacity of meningeal lymphatic vessels, potentially disrupting the equilibrium between production and clearance of Aβ/α-synuclein, …
