Molecular, Structural, and Functional Characterization of Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence for a Relationship between Default Activity, Amyloid, and Memory

TL;DR: One possibility is that lifetime cerebral metabolism associated with regionally specific default activity predisposes cortical regions to AD-related changes, including amyloid deposition, metabolic disruption, and atrophy, which may be part of a network with the medial temporal lobe whose disruption contributes to memory impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inverse relation between in vivo amyloid imaging load and cerebrospinal fluid Abeta42 in humans.

TL;DR: Amyloid‐β42 (Aβ42) appears central to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and is a major component of amyloid plaques, and its decrease may reflect plaques acting as an Aβ42 “sink,” hindering transport of soluble A β42 between brain and CSF.
Journal ArticleDOI

[11C]PIB in a nondemented population: potential antecedent marker of Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: Elevated [11C]PIB binding in nondemented subjects suggests that [11 C]P IB amyloid imaging may be sensitive for detection of a preclinical Alzheimer disease state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and evaluation of 11c-labeled 6-substituted 2-arylbenzothiazoles as amyloid imaging agents

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo properties of [(11)C]6-OH-BTA-1 support the choice of this derivative for further evaluation in human subject studies of brain Abeta deposition, and indicate the selective binding of the compound to amyloid plaques and cerebrovascular amyloids.
