Early detection and accurate diagnosis are essential for improving patient outcomes and mitigating the associated healthcare burden. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in dementia care, providing innovative approaches to the early detection, diagnosis, and management of these neurodegenerative conditions. This review examines the role of AI in revolutionizing dementia care by focusing on its application in neuroimaging, biomarker identification, predictive modeling, and therapeutic interventions. This narrative review synthesizes recent literature on AI methodologies, including machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, for their effectiveness in detecting and managing dementia. Emphasis is placed on AI’s integration of multimodal data, such as neuroimaging, genomics, and clinical records, to enhance diagnostic accuracy and predict disease progression. The review also evaluates AI-driven tools for non-invasive screening, personalized treatment planning, and patient monitoring. Findings indicate that AI significantly improves the accuracy and timeliness of dementia diagnoses, often detecting early-stage disease with greater precision than conventional methods. AI’s capacity to analyze complex datasets enables earlier interventions, which are critical for slowing the progression of AD. In the realm of treatment, AI-driven approaches are optimizing personalized care, predicting patient responses to therapies, and advancing drug discovery. The integration of AI into clinical practice is enhancing real-time decision-making and improving overall disease management. In conclusion, AI holds immense potential to transform the future of dementia care. While challenges such as ethical considerations, data privacy, and the need for widespread clinical validation remain, the benefits of AI in early detection, personalized treatment, and improved patient outcomes are substantial. Continued research and cross-disciplinary collaboration will be vital in fully realizing AI’s capabilities in addressing the global dementia epidemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100198,"journal":{"name":"Brain Organoid and Systems Neuroscience Journal","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 122-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144116290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, reports from mass univariate-driven studies are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to determine if a neuroimaging-based biomarker of MDD, which can reliably distinguish patients from healthy controls, can be generated using multivariate measures. Multivariate modeling of MDD was achieved through generation of a meta-analytic node-and-edge network model of MDD in which disease impacted brain regions (nodes) and their covariances (edges) were quantified with structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM assessment and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis in primary datasets served to test our hypothesis that multivariate analyses of MDD provide improved signal over mass univariate methods. Brain areas reliably impacted by MDD (nodes) and their covariances (edges) were informed by previously published coordinate-based meta-analysis activation/anatomical likelihood estimation (CBMA-ALE) by our group. Meta-analytic model was then fit in primary structural (T1) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data. Primary datasets were derived from two previously recruited cohorts. Outcome measures (testing for differences between MDD and controls) from standardized SEM included: a) model goodness of fit assessment, and b) individual edge strength. SEM measures were assessed in heterogeneous MDD patient groups, and subsequently re-tested in 7 clinical subgroups of MDD patients. Meta-analytically generated MDD network model yielded 9 nodes with 6 edges among the regions. Model goodness of fit in meta-analytic datasets were good to exceptional. Model goodness of fit in regionally sampled gray matter density in primary T1 data was exceptional in clinical subgroups of MDD, poor in clinically heterogeneous subgroups of MDD, and poor in healthy control subjects. VBM analysis of the same T1 datasets yielded sparse results. Model goodness did not distinguish MDD from controls in regionally sampled primary rs-fMRI. These findings support our hypothesis of improved multivariate signal in MDD compared to findings derived from mass univariate analyses, however this effect was only detectable in T1 data (groupwise). Improved SEM goodness of fit in clinical subgroups of MDD patients supports our hypothesis of detectable neuroimaging effects of clinical heterogeneity in MDD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100198,"journal":{"name":"Brain Organoid and Systems Neuroscience Journal","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 96-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under pathological states, however, this control can extend to non-threatening scenarios. For example, pathological states of aversive memory involve fear-overgeneralization in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other anxiety disorders. Furthermore, negative bias in cognitive processing and memory formation is seen in depressed individuals displaying enhanced encoding and recall, less forgetting or repetition of negative memory (rumination) as well as impaired recall of positive memory. Beyond pathological conditions, researchers have long aimed to understand the basic biological entity of memory. This unit termed “engram” is the cellular and molecular component of enduring physiological changes in the brain, enabling learning and memory retrieval. Herein, the hippocampus is central in the formation of context-dependent episodic memories and therefore most often studied in animal experiments to elucidate complex memory traces. In addition, the hippocampus is critically involved in fear-circuits and stress-related dysfunction. This review summarizes current knowledge about memory engrams in hippocampal (sub)regions and their functional relevance regarding neuronal correlates and rodent behavior. A special focus is placed on the negative valence of a memory and the formation of engrams for aversive memories, specifically induced by fear or stress. Finally, limitations of current engram research and possible future directions to improve our understanding of negatively valued memory and its implications in neuropathological conditions will be discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100198,"journal":{"name":"Brain Organoid and Systems Neuroscience Journal","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 79-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
