This protocol paper describes the ecStroop task and the Grief Elicitation task, which will be vital for facilitating multisite studies and enabling comparisons across studies.

From AD neuroimaging initiative biospecimen platform, we evaluated serum cholic-acid (182 healthy/136 AD individuals). We also assessed 50 healthy/50 Alzheimer's subjects containing MRI-ASL scanning (cerebral blood-flow, CBF) and PET-AV45 scanning (amyloid-load). We performed computational causal connectivity to determine the cause-effect relationship among the parameters. Serum cholic acid in AD subjects substantially decreased to half of controls. Causal-connectivity revealed two novel causative pathways: (i) Decreasing serum CA markedly increased amyloid-load; (ii) Increasing amyloid-load distinctly decreased CBF. We substantiated these two causation pathways respectively with collateral available preclinical observations: (a) increased cholic acid reduces amyloid formation by diminishing gamma-secretase; (b) this decreased amyloid induces capillary-flow enhancement by relaxing vascular pericytes. Indeed, cholic acid can increase amyloid-clearance factor. Neuroimaging-based causal connectivity analysis showed that repositioned pharmacological modulation by cholate derivatives may have appreciable potential as novel window for therapeutic approach to AD.
