ABSTRACT
Clinical identification of early neurodegenerative changes requires an accurate and accessible characterization of brain and cognition in healthy aging. We assessed whether a brief online cognitive assessment can provide insights into brain morphology comparable to a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. In 141 healthy mid-life and older adults, we compared Creyos, a relatively brief online cognitive battery, to a comprehensive in person cognitive assessment. We used a multivariate technique to study the ability of each test to inform brain morphology as indexed by cortical sulcal width extracted from structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI).We found that the online test demonstrated comparable strength of association with cortical sulcal width compared to the comprehensive in-person assessment.These findings suggest that in our at-risk sample online assessments are comparable to the in-person assay in their association with brain morphology. With their cost effectiveness, online cognitive testing could lead to more equitable early detection and intervention for neurodegenerative diseases.
