Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) complications resulting from diabetes is a problem that is gaining more acceptance and attention. Recent evidence suggests morphological, electrophysiological and cognitive changes, often observed in the hippocampus, in diabetic individuals. Many of the CNS changes observed in diabetic patients and animal models of diabetes are reminiscent of the changes seen in normal aging. The central commonalities between diabetes-induced and age-related CNS changes have led to the theory of advanced brain aging in diabetic patients. This review summarizes the findings of the literature as they relate to the relationship between diabetes and dementia and discusses some of the potential contributors to diabetes-induced CNS impairments.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • T2D induces premature ageing of the CNS, with some but not all studies finding impaired cognitive performance, electrophysiological hippocampal defects, and brain morphological abnormalities reminiscent of normal ageing.

    “Evidence is now emerging that T2D induces premature ageing of the CNS, as some (but not all) studies have found that patients exhibit impaired cognitive performance and electrophysiological defects in the hippocampus, as well as pathological brain morphological abnormalities – all of which are reminiscent of the changes observed during normal ageing.225”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
