Cognitive and Functional Connectivity Outcomes from a Phase I Trial of Accelerated High‐Dose Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Amnestic MCI Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Lisa M. McTeague, Andreana Benitez · 2023

Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), most widely used to treat depression, may have secondary benefits for cognition. Accelerated high‐dose protocols such as intermittent theta burst (iTBS)‐rTMS shorten the treat…

74 A Phase I Trial of Accelerated, HighDose Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Improve Cognition in Amnestic MCI Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, James W. Lopez, Katrina Rbeiz, Holly H Fleischmann, Olivia Horn , et al. · 2023

Objective: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy most widely used in depression, has shown evidence of secondary benefits for cognition in both neurologic and neuropsychiatric condition…

52 Open Access, Normative Morphometric Software Indicate Neurodegeneration Associated with Episodic Memory Dysfunction in Amnestic MCI Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Olivia Horn, Kathryn E. Thorn, A. Zarina Kraal, Andreana Benitez · 2023

Objective: Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is typically assessed through brain MRI, and proprietary software can provide normative quantification of regional atrophy. However, proprietary software can be cost-prohibitive for …

Functional Network Alterations Associated with Cognition in Pre-Clinical Alzheimer's Disease Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Hesheng Liu, Andreana Benitez · 2023

Objective: Accumulation of cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) is a risk factor for cognitive decline and defining feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ is implicated in brain network disruption, but the extent to which these changes c…

Protocol for a randomized controlled trial of mindfulness-based stress reduction to improve attentional control in older adults (HealthyAgers trial) Open

Ruchika Shaurya Prakash, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Megan Fisher, Oyetunde Gbadeyan, Rebecca Andridge , et al. · 2022

Greater Diffusion Restriction in White Matter in Preclinical Alzheimer Disease Open

Andreana Benitez, Jens H. Jensen, Kathryn E. Thorn, Siddhartha Dhiman, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza , et al. · 2022

Objective The Alzheimer's continuum is biologically defined by beta‐amyloid deposition, which at the earliest stages is superimposed upon white matter degeneration in aging. However, the extent to which these co‐occurring changes is charac…

Fiber Ball white matter modeling reveals microstructural alterations in healthy brain aging Open

Siddhartha Dhiman, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Jens H. Jensen, Maria F. Falangola, Emilie T. McKinnon , et al. · 2022

Greater diffusion restriction in white matter tracts in preclinical AD Open

Andreana Benitez, Jens H. Jensen, Maria F. Falangola, Maria Vittoria Spampinato, William J. Rieter , et al. · 2021

Background The Alzheimer’s Continuum is biologically defined by beta‐amyloid deposition, encompassing individuals with or without other biomarker or clinical changes (Jack et al., 2018). Beta‐amyloid deposition is superimposed upon white m…

Working memory training for adult glioma patients: a proof-of-concept study Open

Sarah Braun, Farah Aslanzadeh, Autumn Lanoye, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Mark G. Malkin , et al. · 2021

Comparison of conventional and actuarial neuropsychological criteria for mild cognitive impairment in a clinical setting Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Sarah Braun, Michael David Horner, Andreana Benitez · 2021

We replicated previous findings that the CNP approach is over-inclusive, particularly for those determined to have no cognitive disorder by a consensus team. The ANP approach yielded fewer false positives and better diagnostic specificity …

Employing Connectome-Based Models to Predict Working Memory in Multiple Sclerosis Open

Heena R. Manglani, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Anita Shankar, Jacqueline Nicholas, Ruchika Shaurya Prakash · 2021

Introduction: Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) are vulnerable to deficits in working memory (WM), but the search for neural correlates of WM within circumscribed areas has been inconclusive. Given the widespread neura…

Employing connectome-based models to predict working memory in multiple sclerosis Open

Heena R. Manglani, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Anita Shankar, Jacqueline Nicholas, Ruchika Shaurya Prakash · 2021

Background Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) are vulnerable to deficits in working memory, and the search for neural correlates of working memory in circumscribed areas has yielded inconclusive findings. Given the widespread neural …

Defining a Connectome-Based Predictive Model of Attentional Control in Aging Open

Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Heena R. Manglani, Monica D. Rosenberg, Rebecca Andridge, Ruchika Shaurya Prakash · 2021

With advancing age, declines in the executive control of attention are accompanied by shifts in the functional topology of brain networks. However, there is increasing recognition of the considerable individual variability in the extent an…

A-13 Demographic Differences in Performance Validity Test Failures Open

Sarah Braun, Stephanie Fountain‐Zaragoza, Colleen A. Halliday, Michael David Horner · 2020

Objective The present study aimed to investigate demographic differences in performance validity test (PVT) failure in a Veteran sample. Method Data were extracted retrospectively from neuropsychological evaluations at a southeastern Veter…
