Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA: Tiny Dots - CSF and Attention Coupling After Sleep Loss 562
Mon February 2nd, 2026
Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA: Tiny Dots - CSF and Attention Coupling After Sleep Loss
The speaker will present fast fMRI–EEG evidence that attention failures after sleep loss reflect state shifts in the locus coeruleus and related neuromodulatory nuclei, coupled with pupil-linked arousal changes and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsations.

The Eye as a Biomarker for AD & Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIAs: Vascular Impact on Brain and Retina in AD 556
Mon February 9th, 2026
The Eye as a Biomarker for AD & Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIAs: Vascular Impact on Brain and Retina in AD
One of the most common co-pathologies in the brain of older adults living with dementia is vascular pathology. During this session, we will discuss how vascular pathology impacts the brain and how this can be reflected by imaging biomarkers in the retina.
