Tau and Aβ imaging, CSF measures, and cognition in Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Tau deposition in the temporal lobe more closely tracked dementia status and was a better predictor of cognitive performance than Aβ deposition in any region of the brain, supporting models of AD where tau pathology closely tracks changes in brain function that are responsible for the onset of early symptoms in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional variability of imaging biomarkers in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: An integrated whole-brain analysis of three major imaging techniques found that most gray-matter structures with amyloid plaques later have hypometabolism followed by atrophy, and a hypermetabolic phase was identified for some cortical regions, including the precuneus and posterior cingulate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebrospinal fluid tau and ptau181 increase with cortical amyloid deposition in cognitively normal individuals: Implications for future clinical trials of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: This work reports a positive linear relationship between CSF tau/ptau181 (primary constituents of neurofibrillary tangles) with the amount of cortical amyloid and observes a strong inverse relationship of cortical PIB binding with CSF Aβ42 but not for plasma Aβ species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Tau Imaging in Staging Alzheimer Disease and Revealing Interactions Between β-Amyloid and Tauopathy

TL;DR: Use of [18F]-AV-1451 has a potential for staging of the preclinical and clinical phases of AD and the associations among β-amyloid, tau, and volume loss are assessed.
