Journal ArticleDOI
White matter damage in Alzheimer's disease assessed in vivo using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging
Marco Bozzali,Andrea Falini,Massimo Franceschi,Mara Cercignani,M Zuffi,G. Scotti,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +7 more
TL;DR: White matter changes in patients with Alzheimer's disease are likely to be secondary to wallerian degeneration of fibre tracts due to neuronal loss in cortical associative areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of early‐onset Alzheimer's disease with an interleukin‐1α gene polymorphism
Luigi M.E. Grimaldi,Valeria M. Casadei,Cinzia Ferri,Fabrizio Veglia,Federico Licastro,Giorgio Annoni,Ida Biunno,Gianluca De Bellis,Sandro Sorbi,Claudio Mariani,Nicola Canal,W. Sue T. Griffin,Massimo Franceschi +12 more
TL;DR: Overexpression of the pluripotent cytokine interleukin‐1 by microglial cells correlates with formation of neuritic β‐amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease, and data suggest either a direct effect of the IL‐1 gene family on the clinical onset of AD, or a linkage dysequilibrium with an unknown locus relevant to AD on chromosome 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
MCI conversion to dementia and the APOE genotype A prediction study with FDG-PET
Lisa Mosconi,Daniela Perani,Sandro Sorbi,Karl Herholz,Benedetta Nacmias,Vjera Holthoff,Eric Salmon,Jean-Claude Baron,M. T. R. De Cristofaro,Alessandro Padovani,Barbara Borroni,Massimo Franceschi,Laura Bracco,Alberto Pupi +13 more
TL;DR: Fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-PET measures may improve prediction of the conversion to Alzheimer disease, especially in combination with the APOE genotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
EEG coherence in Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: EEG coherence in patients affected by clinically probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) showed a significant decrease of alpha band coherence, in particular in temporo-parieto-occipital areas, more evident in patients with a more severe cognitive impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings suggest that immune system processes (link to 6p21.3) and possibly lysosomal and autophagy pathways ( link to 11q14) are potentially involved in FTD.
