INTRODUCTION: Alzheimers disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) arise from cumulative environmental, social, behavioral, and biological influences across the life course. The neural exposome framework conceptualizes how exogenous, behavioral, and endogenous factors interact to shape brain health; however, its application to preclinical AD/ADRD research, particularly in rural populations, remains limited. METHODS: We developed and piloted a community-embedded, decentralized research model to operationalize the neural exposome framework among cognitively unimpaired adults aged 45+ in two rural Midwestern U.S. communities, integrating environmental, social, behavioral, geospatial, and biological measures to evaluate exposure-related neurobiological and cognitive vulnerability. RESULTS: This approach demonstrated high feasibility and acceptability, achieving strong recruitment, retention, data completeness, and multidomain biomarker collection in rural community-based settings DISCUSSION: Pilot findings support the feasibility of neural exposome-informed research in rural U.S. communities and highlight its potential to advance prevention-oriented research on brain health and AD/ADRD.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
