• Demographically adjusted trail making test norms in a Scandinavian sample from 41 to 84 years 

      Espenes, Johan Jacob; Hessen, Erik; Eliassen, Ingvild Vøllo; Waterloo, Knut; Eckerström, Marie; Sando, Sigrid Botne; Timón, Santiago; Wallin, Anders; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Objective The trail making test (TMT) is one of the most widely used neuropsychological tests. TMT-A provides measures of visual scanning/visuomotor speed and TMT-B involves additional demands on executive functions. ...

      Gonzalez-Ortiz, Fernando; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind Seljelid; Contador, José; Tanley, Jordan E.; Selnes, Per; Gisladottir, Berglind; Pålhaugen, Lene; Hemminghyth, Mathilde Suhr; Jarholm, Jonas Alexander; Skogseth, Ragnhild Eide; Bråthen, Geir; Grøndtvedt, Gøril; Bjørnerud, Atle; Tecelao, Sandra; Waterloo, Knut; Aarsland, Dag; Fernández-Lebrero, Aida; García-Escobar, Greta; Navalpotro-Gómez, Irene; Turton, Michael; Hesthamar, Agnes; Kac, Przemyslaw R.; Nilsson, Johanna; Luchsinger, Jose; Hayden, Kathleen M.; Harrison, Peter; Puig-Pijoan, Albert; Zetterberg, Henrik; Hughes, Timothy M.; Suárez-Calvet, Marc; Karikari, Thomas K.; Fladby, Tormod; Blennow, Kaj (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Staging amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathophysiology according to the intensity of neurodegeneration could identify individuals at risk for cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In blood, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) associates ...
    • Regression-Based Cognitive Change Norms Applied in Biochemically Defined Predementia Alzheimer’s Disease 

      Eliassen, Ingvild Vøllo; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind; Fladby, Tormod; Waterloo, Knut; Sando, Sigrid Botne; Hemminghyth, Mathilde Suhr; Aarsland, Dag; Reina, Santiago Timon; Wallin, Anders; Öhman, Fredrik; Eckerström, Marie; Hessen, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Objective: We aim to develop 2-year cognitive change norms for adults ages 41–84 for six cognitive tests, and to evaluate these norms in groups with AD biomarkers. Background: Practice effects are common in repeated ...
    • Regression-based norms for the FAS phonemic fluency test for ages 40–84 based on a Norwegian sample 

      Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Espenes, Johan Jacob; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut; Bråthen, Geir; Timón, Santiago; Aarsland, Dag; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The FAS phonemic fluency test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of executive function and processing speed. Although Norwegian discrete norms have been developed for the FAS test, American regression-based norms ...
    • Stable cerebrospinal fluid neurogranin and β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 levels differentiate predementia Alzheimer's disease patients 

      Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind; Richter, Grit; Nordengen, Kaja; Aarsland, Dag; Bråthen, Geir; Tijms, Betty M; Visser, Pieter Jelle; Nilsson, Johanna; Selnes, Per; Kramberger, Milica G.; Winblad, Bengt; Waterloo, Knut; Gísladóttir, Berglind; Blennow, Kaj; Fladby, Tormod (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), neurogranin and the neurogranin/BACE1 ratio are proposed markers for Alzheimer’s disease. BACE1 is also a drug target. However, CSF ...
