Why is it important?
These data will facilitate analyses of cognition across studies, despite varying levels of overlap in cognitive tests used across studies.
Perspectives
We hope that these cognitive scores can be used in downstream Alzheimer's disease-related projects which will lead to novel therapeutics in this field.
