    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and its rising prevalence is constantly increasing the global health burden. There are currently no curative therapies for AD, and current treatment options provide only modest clinical benefit. Despite numerous clinical trials, there have been no major additions to the AD treatment armamentarium this century. The prevailing pathomechanistic hypothesis for AD begins with abnormal accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) leading to plaque development, and disease-modifying candidate therapies have largely aimed to disrupt this process. Numerous clinical trials of monoclonal antibodies directed at various stages of Aβ plaque development have yielded mostly negative results; however, recent results suggest that a breakthrough may be on the horizon. The past two years have yielded positive results for three monoclonal antibodies (aducanumab, lecanemab, and donanemab) although questions remain regarding their clinical effectiveness. Additional clarity is needed to determine whether the clinical benefits are great enough to offset the treatment risks and the resource implications for healthcare systems. This review provides a foundational context and update on recent disease-modifying therapies for AD that have reached Phase III clinical trials. Up-to-date information on these therapies will help clinicians better inform their clinical decision-making and the counselling they can offer patients and their carers.

    Abstract Parkinsonism is usually designated a movement disorder. However, cognitive impairment comprises a major part of many parkinsonian syndromes, and inversely correlates with quality of life. Parkinsonian features are largely attributed to subcortical dopaminergic dysfunction, although other brain regions and neurotransmitters also contribute. This is illustrated by phenotypic differences among different parkinsonian syndromes. Slowed processing speed and executive dysfunction are generally expected in parkinsonian patients, but additional cognitive features can suggest specific pathological substrates, e.g. apraxia in corticobasal degeneration. Similarly, motor symptoms generally include combinations of bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor, and postural instability, although nuanced differences and associated clinical features often help differentiate between parkinsonian syndromes. Human gait requires complex synchronisation at every level of the nervous system, yet occurs with minimal conscious effort on behalf of the walker. Deviations from the normal gait pattern can result from otherwise unnoticeable insults to the body, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the nervous system. Gait is almost always abnormal in parkinsonism, ranging from subtle arm swing asymmetry to discrete episodes of gait freezing. Moreover, one's cognitive state can directly affect one's quality of gait. The notion that a gait profile could in fact be a disease-specific biomarker is an area of great research interest. This review focuses on the manifestations of, and correlations between, cognitive and gait impairment in common parkinsonian conditions, and provides guidance for a clinical approach to assessing them.

    Abstract Introduction: In this edition, Szymuś et al. conducted a systematic review revealing sexual dysfunction to be more prevalent in patients with Huntington's Disease compared to controls.
    Clinical reflections: Sexual dysfunction in HD (SDHD) is common and significantly affects patient quality of life. Commonly used HD rating scales and treatment guidelines do not explicitly address SDHD, and research studies are limited by size and methodology.
    Clinical implications: It is important that validated sexual dysfunction screening tools be utilised in clinical and research settings.

    Abstract Introduction: In the current edition, Szejko and colleagues describe a subset of patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) who had dystonic tics (DTs), which occurred more frequently in those with a greater number of tics and likely contribute to impairment. Clinical Reflections: DTs manifest as an abnormal posture that may be difficult to distinguish from other movements, such as dystonia and other tic types. Electromyography is an invaluable tool that can aid clinicians in making this important distinction.
    Clinical implications: Accurately diagnosing these movements can significantly impact treatment decisions and contribute to more homogenous research populations.

    Abstract Introduction: The neuropsychological profile of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy (CRL) is undefined. This study defines the profile, contrasts it with that of other dementia syndromes, and highlights measures sensitive to cognitive impairment.
    Methods: We administered a standardized battery of neuropsychological tests to five consecutive CRL cases.
    Results: The neuropsychological profile of CRL reflects impaired general cognitive function, processing speed, executive function, speeded visual problem solving, verbal fluency, and self-reported depression and anxiety. Confrontation naming and memory are preserved. Within cognitive domains, certain measures more frequently identified impairment than others.
    Discussion: CRL impairs general cognitive function, processing speed, executive function. Language and visual problem solving may be impaired if processing speed is required. Confrontation naming and memory are uniquely preserved, contrasting CRL to other dementia syndromes. Cognitive screens excluding processing speed and executive function may not detect CRL cognitive manifestations. Findings sharply define cognitive impairment of CRL and inform cognitive test selection.
