Abstract
Adults with Down syndrome (DS) are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Despite sharing trisomy 21, however, there is variability in the age of disease onset. This variability may mean that other factors, such as lifestyle, influence cognitive aging and disease timing. The present study assessed the association between everyday life physical activity using an actigraph accelerometer and cognitive functioning and early Alzheimer’s disease pathology via positron emission tomography amyloid-β and tau and diffusion tension imaging measures of white matter integrity in 61 non-demented adults with DS. Percent time in sedentary behavior and in moderate-to-vigorous activity were associated (negatively and positively, respectively) with cognitive functioning (r = -.472 to.572, p < 0.05). Neither sedentary behavior nor moderate-to-vigorous activity were associated with amyloid-β or tau, but both were associated with white matter integrity in the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus (Fractional Anisotropy: r = -.397 to -.419, p < 0.05; Mean Diffusivity: r =.400, p < 0.05). Longitudinal studies are needed to determine if physical activity promotes healthy aging in DS. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether family members of patients with pediatric multiple sclerosis (MS) have an increased prevalence of autoimmune conditions compared with controls. METHODS: Data collected during a pediatric MS case-control study of risk factors included information about various autoimmune diseases in family members. The frequency of these disorders was compared between cases and controls. RESULTS: There was an increased rate of autoimmune diseases among family members of pediatric MS cases compared with controls with first-degree history of MS excluded (OR = 2.27, 95% CI 1.71-3.01, p < 0.001). There was an increased rate of MS among second-degree relatives of pediatric MS cases compared with controls (OR = 3.47, 95% CI 1.36-8.86, p = 0.009). The OR for MS was 2.64 when restricted to maternal relatives and 6.37 when restricted to paternal relatives. DISCUSSION: The increased rates of autoimmune disorders, including thyroid disorders and MS among families of patients with pediatric MS, suggest shared genetic factors among families with children diagnosed with pediatric MS.

Abstract
Background: The mycobiome is the fungal component of the gut microbiome and is implicated in several autoimmune diseases. However, its role in MS has not been studied. Methods: In this case-control observational study, we performed ITS sequencing and characterised the gut mycobiome in people with MS (pwMS) and healthy controls at baseline and after six months. Findings: The mycobiome had significantly higher alpha diversity and inter-subject variation in pwMS than controls. Saccharomyces and Aspergillus were over-represented in pwMS. Saccharomyces was positively correlated with circulating basophils and negatively correlated with regulatory B cells, while Aspergillus was positively correlated with activated CD16+ dendritic cells in pwMS. Different mycobiome profiles, defined as mycotypes, were associated with different bacterial microbiome and immune cell subsets in the blood. Initial treatment with dimethyl fumarate, a common immunomodulatory therapy which also has fungicidal activity, did not cause uniform gut mycobiome changes across all pwMS. Interpretation: There is an alteration of the gut mycobiome in pwMS, compared to healthy controls. Further study is required to assess any causal association of the mycobiome with MS and its direct or indirect interactions with bacteria and autoimmunity.

Abstract
Background: Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles has been used in clinical studies for blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening in conjunction with MRI. However, the impact of the static magnetic field generated by an MRI scanner on the BBB opening outcome has not been evaluated. Purpose: To determine the relationship of the static magnetic field of an MRI scanner on focused ultrasound combined with microbubble- induced BBB opening. Materials and Methods: Thirty wild-type mice were divided into four groups. Mice from different groups were sonicated with focused ultrasound in different static magnetic fields (approximately 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.7 T), with all other experimental parameters kept the same. Focused ultrasound sonication was performed after intravenous injection of microbubbles. Microbubble cavitation activity, the fundamental physical mechanism underlying focused ultrasound BBB opening, was monitored with passive cavitation detection. After sonication, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI was performed to assess BBB opening outcome. Intravenously injected Evans blue was used as a model agent to evaluate trans-BBB delivery efficiency. Results: The microbubble cavitation dose decreased by an average of 2.1 dB at 1.5 T (P = .05), 2.9 dB at 3.0 T (P = .01), and 3.0 dB at 4.7 T (P = .01) compared with that outside the magnetic field (approximately 0 T). The static magnetic field of an MRI scanner decreased BBB opening volume in mice by 3.2-fold at 1.5 T (P <001), 4.5-fold at 3.0 T (P <.001), and 11.6-fold at 4.7 T (P <.001) compared with mice treated outside the magnetic field. It also decreased Evans blue trans-BBB delivery 1.4-fold at 1.5 T (P = .009), 1.6-fold at 3.0 T (P <.001), and 1.9-fold at 4.7 T (P <.001). Conclusion: Static magnetic fields dampened microbubble cavitation activity and decreased trans-blood-brain barrier (BBB) delivery by focused ultrasound combined with microbubble-induced BBB opening. © 2021 Radiological Society of North America Inc..

Abstract
The hippocampus is critically important for a diverse range of cognitive processes, such as episodic memory, prospective memory, affective processing, and spatial navigation. Using individual-specific precision functional mapping of resting-state functional MRI data, we found the anterior hippocampus (head and body) to be preferentially functionally connected to the default mode network (DMN), as expected. The hippocampal tail, however, was strongly preferentially functionally connected to the parietal memory network (PMN), which supports goal-oriented cognition and stimulus recognition. This anterior–posterior dichotomy of resting-state functional connectivity was well-matched by differences in task deactivations and anatomical segmentations of the hippocampus. Task deactivations were localized to the hippocampal head and body (DMN), relatively sparing the tail (PMN). The functional dichotomization of the hippocampus into anterior DMN-connected and posterior PMN-connected parcels suggests parallel but distinct circuits between the hippocampus and medial parietal cortex for self- versus goal-oriented processing. © 2021 National Academy of Sciences.

Abstract
Immunofluorescence labeling and microscopy offer a highly specific means to visualize proteins or other molecular species in a sample by labeling target antigens with fluorescent probes. These fluorescent probes can then be visualized using a fluorescence microscope, allowing their relative spatial relationships to be determined. Due to spectral overlap of common fluorophores, however, it can be challenging to analyze more than three antigens in a single sample with standard imaging approaches. This article describes multiplexed labeling and imaging of four target antigens through the use of a long-Stokes-shift fluorophore—a fluorophore with an unusually large gap between its excitation and emission maxima—in tandem with three conventional fluorophores. This combination allows for multiplexed imaging of four antigens in a single sample with excellent spectral discrimination suitable for sensitive analyses using standard imaging hardware. Particular advantages of this approach are its flexibility in terms of target antigens and the lack of any specialized procedures, reagents, or equipment beyond the commercially available labeling reagent coupled to the long-Stokes-shift fluorophore. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
Introduction: There is increasing interest in plasma amyloid beta (Aβ) as an endophenotype of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Identifying the genetic determinants of plasma Aβ levels may elucidate important biological processes that determine plasma Aβ measures. Methods: We included 12,369 non-demented participants from eight population-based studies. Imputed genetic data and measured plasma Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42 levels and Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 ratio were used to perform genome-wide association studies, and gene-based and pathway analyses. Significant variants and genes were followed up for their association with brain positron emission tomography Aβ deposition and AD risk. Results: Single-variant analysis identified associations with apolipoprotein E (APOE) for Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 ratio, and BACE1 for Aβ1-40. Gene-based analysis of Aβ1-40 additionally identified associations for APP, PSEN2, CCK, and ZNF397. There was suggestive evidence for interaction between a BACE1 variant and APOE ε4 on brain Aβ deposition. Discussion: Identification of variants near/in known major Aβ-processing genes strengthens the relevance of plasma-Aβ levels as an endophenotype of AD. © 2021 The Authors.
