Rotation errors in path integration are associated with Alzheimer’s disease tau pathology: a cross-sectional study by Lise Colmant, Lisa Quenon, Lara Huyghe, Adrian Ivanoiu, Thomas Gérard, Renaud Lhommel, Pauline Coppens, Yasmine Salman, Vincent Malotaux, Laurence Dricot, Lukas Kunz, Nikolai Axmacher, Philippe Lefèvre, Bernard Hanseeuw

“…Conclusion Our results suggest that path integration performance in an environment without external cues allows identifying individuals with preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, before overt episodic memory impairment is noticeable. Specifically, we demonstrated that poor angular estimation is an early cognitive marker of tau pathology, whereas distance estimation relates to older ages, not to Alzheimer’s disease. …”

The role of the KIBRA and APOE genes in developing spatial abilities in humans by A. V. Kazantseva, R. F. Enikeeva, Yu. D. Davydova, R. N. Mustafin, Z. R. Takhirova, S. B. Malykh, M. M. Lobaskova, T. N. Tikhomirova, E. K. Khusnutdinova

“…In addition, genome-wide association studies identified rs17070145 located in the KIBRA gene, which was associated with individual differences in episodic memory. Considering a significant role of genetic and environmental components in cognitive functioning, the present study aimed to estimate the main effect of NGF (rs6330), NRXN1 (rs1045881, rs4971648), KIBRA (rs17070145), NRG1 (rs6994992), BDNF (rs6265), GRIN2B (rs3764030), APOE (rs7412, rs429358), and SNAP25 (rs363050) gene polymorphisms and to assess the effect of gene-environment interactions on individual differences in spatial ability in individuals without cognitive decline aged 18–25 years (N = 1011, 80 % women). …”
