Edited by C.A. Raji, Y. Leng, J.W. Ashford, and D.S. Khalsa, this book (AIAD, Vol. 10) introduces physicians, scientists, and other stakeholders to this subfield of AD research.
Edited by C.A. Raji, Y. Leng, J.W. Ashford, and D.S. Khalsa, this book (AIAD, Vol. 11) is a comprehensive overview of strategies for tackling Alzheimer’s disease and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
Patients with AD were divided into two groups based on a 130 g/day net carbohydrate (nCHO) cutoff. Results comparing lower-higher nCHO groups suggest that restricting carbohydrates may reduce atrophy in sensorimotor and visual cortex. From Bramen et al., JAD96(1).
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease
is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer's disease.
Tau PET tracer retention quantified as standardized uptake ratio (SUVR) was elevated in the limbic and neocortical areas of AD patients and was further increased in the pons, including the locus coeruleus, of the patients with marked tooth loss (arrowhead). From Matsumoto et al., JAD96(3).

Cholinergic Receptor Muscarinic 1 (Chrm1) colocalizes and comigrates with mitochondria in cultured sensory neurons. Chrm1 deleted mice exhibit mitochondrial defects in sensory neurons, potentially associated with peripheral sensory loss in Alzheimer's. From Sabbir, JAD 98(1).
New Co-Editor-in-Chief Appointed:
Paula I. Moreira, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Physiology and leads the Mitochondria in Brain Disorders research group at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology at the University of Coimbra.
In healthy subjects, TSPO PET – considered to reflect activated microglia – shows high signal in brainstem, particularly in inferior colliculi (IC; circled). In AD, IC TSPO is abnormally low. Understudied brainstem microglia may play a unique role in AD. Butler et al., JAD99(1).
COVID-19 content in JAD is openly available. Read all content including the editorial by JAD's Editor-in-Chief George Perry, in which he calls out for careful study to determine the numbers of AD patients infected and dying of COVID-19, via: bit.ly/JAD-COVID19
Both primary neurons and astrocytes exhibit calcium overload with the addition of toxic soluble Aβ oligomers. However, this calcium overload is prevented when pre-treated with NB-02, a novel botanical drug. From Miller et al., JAD99(2).
JAD Reports is our fully open access international, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer's disease. View new content
AD patients had higher free water versus controls in limbic areas, precuneus, frontal/temporal lobes, putamen, and cerebellum. From Nakaya et al., JAD99(4).
