Journal ArticleDOI

Mild cognitive impairment: Can FDG-PET predict who is to rapidly convert to Alzheimer’s disease?

TL;DR: It is suggested that among patients with MCI, fluorodeoxyglucose PET may accurately identify rapid converters, and replication in an independent sample is needed to confirm this finding.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neural substrates of memory systems impairment in Alzheimer's disease. A PET study of resting brain glucose utilization.

TL;DR: For episodic, short-term and semantic memory, many findings fit classical neuropsychology, while most of the less expected ones were consistent with recent results from functional neuro-imaging in healthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrostructural abnormalities in Korsakoff syndrome compared with uncomplicated alcoholism

TL;DR: Only a few cerebral regions, including the medial thalami, mammillary bodies, and corpus callosum, were more severely damaged in KS than in AL, and the continuum of macrostructural damage from AL to KS is restricted to key brain structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient global amnesia: implicit/explicit memory dissociation and PET assessment of brain perfusion and oxygen metabolism in the acute stage

TL;DR: The finding of a left prefrontal hypometabolism in the face of impaired episodic memory and altered verbal fluency would fit present day concepts from PET activation studies about the role of this area in episodic and semantic memory encoding/retrieval.
