Neural correlates of subjective cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease: a systematic review of structural and functional brain changes for early diagnosis and intervention by Giulia Marafioti, Laura Culicetto, Desirèe Latella, Angela Marra, Angelo Quartarone, Viviana Lo Buono

“…BackgroundSubjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) is increasingly recognized as a preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), representing a critical window for early detection and intervention. Understanding the structural and functional neural changes in SCD can improve diagnosis, monitoring, and management of this early stage of disease.MethodsA systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify studies examining neuroanatomical, neurofunctional, and neuroimaging findings in individuals with SCD. …”

Altered Structure-Function Coupling Associated with Attention Decline in Shift Work Disorder by Wu Z, Feng S, Li K, Dong L, Zhang L, Ning Y, Yin D

“…Better altering performance was significantly associated with lower SC-FC coupling in the anterior cingulate gyrus of patients with SWD (r = − 0.51, P = 0.002).Discussion: Our findings unravel that the decreased SC-FC coupling in the anterior cingulate gyrus may contribute to the impaired altering network function in SWD, which can further understand the neural mechanisms of impaired attention in SWD and inform a potentially therapeutic intervention for SWD patients.Keywords: shift work disorder, fMRI, attentional network function, structure-function coupling…”

Developmental riboflavin deficiency results in structural and functional changes in the neural retina and RPE by Xue Zhao, Mustafa S. Makia, Muna I. Naash, Muayyad R. Al-Ubaidi

“…This raises the fundamental question of how riboflavin deficiency impacts retinal structure and function. We have previously evaluated an adult diet-induced model of riboflavin deficiency and showed that lack of flavins resulted in severe functional and structural deficits in the neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium with increased oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation. …”
