Abbreviations: ACE, Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination; AEF, attention and/or executive functions; CAMCOG, Cambridge Cognitive Examination; CDR, clinical dementia rating; CASI, Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument; CT, computed tomography; DTI, diffusion tensor imaging; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; FAB, frontal assessment battery; FLAIR, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; IQCODE, Informant Questionnaire for Cognitive Decline in the Elderly; Lan, language; Mem, memory; MMSE, Mini–Mental State Examination; MoCA, Montreal Cognitive Assessment; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; N/A, (information on data) not available; PS, processing speed; SWI, susceptibility-weighted imaging; Vis, visuospatial functions (e.g., perception, construction); VCI, vascular cognitive impairment; WMH, white matter hyperintensity.

Lesion maps: infarcts for stroke cohorts; white matter hyperintensities for cohorts with memory clinic patients, population-based subjects, and other cohort types.

Lesion segmentations of ADNI data have been provided by different centers (i.e., University of California at Davis and University College London). Therefore, a large degree of overlap in subjects between these data sets must be noted.

The Dutch Parelsnoer Institute—Neurodegenerative diseases cohort is a collaboration between the eight Dutch University Medical Centres (www.parelsnoer.org). This includes subjects from the TRACE-VCI and Alzheimer Center Erasmus MC cohorts; thus, partial overlap between these cohorts must be noted.
