Nice job! In CSF, changes observed are a reduction of Ab42 due to amyloid deposition and an increase in p-Tau and total Tau (t-Tau). The increases in both forms of Tau are thought to be due to neurodegeneration with p-Tau being a more specific marker for Alzheimer's disease.

Great participation! This is an example of PERSEVERATION and is a common symptom in disorders of executive function, like the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia.

The correct answer is perivascular space. This space surrounds the walls of vessels as they travel from the subarachnoid space through the brain parenchyma. They can become enlarged with age and are associated with cognitive impairment.

76yo otherwise healthy man w/MCI. T1 MR shows numerous well defined hypointense round lesions in the white matter (see image) and basal ganglia. The signal intensity is identical to that of CSF on T2, and w/out an increased signal on FLAIR. What is the likely etiology?

It’s beginning to feel like spring here in Portland! #aagp @GeriPsyc
