Co-Occurring Cardiovascular/Metabolic Abnormalities Linked to Widespread Alterations In Brain Connectivity
Barnaly Rashid, PhD, Steven E. Arnold, MD, and colleagues report that, across the adult lifespan, worse cardiometabolic health associates with dysregulated functional connectivity throughout the brain, including in higher-order brain networks vital to cognitive function. The effect was strongest in adults under age 65.

Machine Learning Model Identifies Alzheimer's Disease–like Structural Brain Patterns in Younger, Asymptomatic Adults
Binyin Li, MD, David H. Salat, PhD, and colleagues created a machine learning classifier that detected Alzheimer's disease–like brain patterns in younger adults (40 to 59 years old) and in a cohort with mild cognitive impairment.
