Why the study?
Whether the Cogstate Brief Battery is beneficial for assessing brain function in older Japanese adults remained unclear.
Is the Cogstate Brief Battery associated with traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging in older Japanese adults?
Population
170 community-dwelling older Japanese adults with normal cognitive function or mild cognitive impairment
Design
Cross-sectional study
Key result
The Cogstate Brief Battery score was significantly associated with MoCA-J and MMSE scores in all participants, and with hippocampal atrophy in the amyloid-positive group.

Is the Cogstate Brief Battery associated with traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging in older Japanese adults?
The Cogstate Brief Battery correlates well with traditional cognitive tests and imaging markers, suggesting it is a useful tool for assessing cognitive decline in older Japanese adults.
Ataka et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Normal cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment (n=170). Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB) vs. Traditional cognitive tests and brain imaging was evaluated on Association of the CBB score with MoCA-J, MMSE, hippocampal atrophy, and brain amyloid deposition. The Cogstate Brief Battery score was significantly associated with MoCA-J and MMSE scores in all participants, and with hippocampal atrophy in the amyloid-positive group.
