1. 6. Effect of DNAJB6 on α-synuclein amyloid fibril aggregation and dis-aggregation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemi

   Author : Josef Getachew; [2023]
   Keywords : α-synuclein; alpha-synuclein; chaperones; DNAJB6; the unhappy chaperone; parkinsons disease; biophysical chemistry; biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Amyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases.

   Abstract : This paper investigates the potential of augmented reality (AR) as a navigational aid for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), offering innovative solutions to the evolving challenges of AD care. As the disease progresses, patients often require more assistance and may transition to care centers, resulting in reduced independence. READ MORE

4. 8. Pilot Study on Working Memory : Investigating Single Trial Decoding to Find the Best Stimulus and Target for a Future Personalized Neurofeedback

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Erik Gasparini; [2023]
   Keywords : Visual working memory; Personalised neurofeedback; Visual stimulus; Targeted brain region.;

   Abstract : A standard Neurofeedback approach to mitigate the working memory decline in some fragile groups (elderly, subjects affected by stroke or Alzheimer's disease) can be suboptimal for some patients. The goal of this research is to investigate which visual stimulus (among colour, geometrical shape, direction, and symbol) is the most suited for each of the six healthy participants and which brain areas are the most discriminative, during the maintenance of a presented stimulus in a retro-cue-based working memory experiment.

5. 9. Predictive MR Image Generation for Alzheimer’s Disease and Normal Aging Using Diffeomorphic Registration

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Yuqi Zheng; [2023]
   Keywords : Medical Image Generation; Brain Aging; Diffeomorphic Registration; AlzheimerŠs Disease; Medicinsk bildgenerering; Åldrande av hjärnan; DiffeomorĄsk registrering; Alzheimers sjukdom;

   Abstract : Alzheimer´s Disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of dementia, signifying a progressive and degenerative brain disorder that causes cognitive function deterioration including memory loss, communication difficulties, impaired judgment, and changes in behavior and personality. Compared to normal aging, AD introduces more profound cognitive impairments and brain morphology changes. READ MORE

6. 10. Characterization of familial Alzheimer’s disease using unsupervised learningalgorithmsA data analysis of Alzheimer’s disease cases

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Tim Littau; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD) is characterized by an early onset, cognitive impairment and dementia. Besides the symptomatic characterization, FAD shows an abundance of amyloid beta and tau protein in the patients' brains. READ MORE
