New #VETSA paper alert!.
Happy to announce our new publication is out in @EHPonline showing that higher exposure to ambient air pollution (PM2.5) is associated with lower locus coeruleus integrity in the #VETSA sample. @VETSATwinStudy .

In early old age men without dementia, plasma NfL levels do not seem to be sensitive to individual differences in most cognitive domains or neuroimaging measures of gray and white matter.

The association between plasma NfL and processing speed was primarily observed in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and not in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals.

However, there was no significant association with other cognitive measures or neuroimaging measures (e.g., thickness, volume, FA, MD, AD-related signatures).
