Journal ArticleDOI

Pauline Aalten,Frans R.J. Verhey,Marina Boziki,Roger Bullock,E. J. Byrne,Vincent Camus,Miriam Caputo,Debby Collins,Peter Paul De Deyn,Kazi Elina,Giovanni B. Frisoni,Nicola Girtler,Clive Holmes,Catherine S Hurt,Anna Marriott,Patrizia Mecocci,Flavio Nobili,Pierre Jean Ousset,Emma Reynish,Eric Salmon,Magda Tsolaki,Bruno Vellas,Philippe Robert +22 more
TL;DR: This large study has provided additional robust evidence for the existence of neuropsychiatric subsyndromes in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of long-term Donepezil therapy on rCBF of Alzheimer's patients
Flavio Nobili,Paolo Vitali,Michela Canfora,Nicola Girtler,Caterina De Leo,Giuliano Mariani,Alberto Pupi,Guido Rodriguez +7 more
TL;DR: Brain perfusion is preserved in AD patients undergoing chronic Donepezil therapy while it is reduced in untreated patients, and SPECT is a promising tool with which to assess the impact of AChEI therapy on brain functioning of AD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal perfusion in mild Alzheimer's disease
Guido Rodriguez,Paolo Vitali,Piero Calvini,Chiara Bordoni,Nicola Girtler,G. Taddei,Giuliano Mariani,Flavio Nobili +7 more
TL;DR: H hippocampal hypoperfusion in patients with mild AD, a correlation between hippocampal perfusion and the severity of cognitive impairment, and enhanced identification of these subtle perfusional changes with the use of an alternative image-reconstruction method that improves the spatial resolution of SPECT images are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principal component analysis of FDG PET in amnestic MCI.
Flavio Nobili,Dario Salmaso,Silvia Morbelli,Nicola Girtler,Arnoldo Piccardo,Andrea Brugnolo,Barbara Dessi,Stig A. Larsson,Guido Rodriguez,Marco Pagani +9 more
TL;DR: Combining memory performance and 18F-FDG PET yielded a higher accuracy than each single tool in identifying CTR and MCI/MCI, while the PC including the left LFC was the hallmark of conversion to AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: A brain perfusion SPECT study
Flavio Nobili,Giovanni Abbruzzese,Silvia Morbelli,Roberta Marchese,Nicola Girtler,Barbara Dessi,Andrea Brugnolo,Cinzia Canepa,Giorgos Chr. Drosos,Gianmario Sambuceti,Guido Rodriguez +10 more
TL;DR: Cortical dysfunction in Parkinson's disease patients with amnestic deficit showed cortical dysfunction in bilateral posterior parietal and occipital lobes, a pattern that can be especially recognized versus both controls and common aMCI patients, and to a lesser extent versus cognitively intact PD.
