TLDR
First human brain images with [F18]-T808, a novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent with different pharmacokinetic characteristics, are described, which may be favorable for imaging Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.
Abstract
Aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau (PHF-tau), such as neurofibrillary tangles, are linked to the degree of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease. We have recently reported early clinical results of a novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent, [F18]-T807. Since then, we have investigated a second novel PHF-tau targeting PET imaging agent, [F18]-T808, with different pharmacokinetic characteristics, which may be favorable for imaging Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. Here, we describe the first human brain images with [F18]-T808.

In Vivo Visualization of Tau Accumulation, Microglial Activation, and Brain Atrophy in a Mouse Model of Tauopathy rTg4510.

TL;DR: The time-course of the [11C]PBB3- and TSPO-PET finding suggests that tau deposition triggers progressive neuroinflammation, and the sequential changes can be evaluated in vivo in mouse brains.

Monitoring and Assessment Technologies Cognitive changes and dementia risk after traumatic brain injury: Implications for aging military personnel *

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the neurocognitive and neuropathologic changes after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with a focus on the potential risk for cognitive and neurological changes after TBI.

PET Radioligands Reveal the Basis of Dementia in Parkinson's Disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

TL;DR: DAT and amyloid PET imaging discriminate DLB from PD and from other disease groups and identify pathological processes that contribute to their course and serve as biomarkers for targeted molecular therapies.

Current Understanding of Neurodegenerative Diseases Associated With the Protein Tau.

TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that tau may exhibit properties similar to those of prions, although infective transmission has not been shown, has been shown in a few clinical trials targeting tau and microtubule dysfunction, although none have had any disease‐modifying effects.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

Neuropathological stageing of Alzheimer-related changes.

Heiko Braak, +1 more
TL;DR: The investigation showed that recognition of the six stages required qualitative evaluation of only a few key preparations, permitting the differentiation of six stages.

Neurofibrillary tangles but not senile plaques parallel duration and severity of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The severity of dementia was positively related to the number of NFTs in neocortex, but not to the degree of SP deposition, and N FTs accumulate in a consistent pattern reflecting hierarchic vulnerability of individual cytoarchitectural fields.

Staging of Alzheimer disease-associated neurofibrillary pathology using paraffin sections and immunocytochemistry.

TL;DR: To better meet the demands of routine laboratories this procedure is revised here by adapting tissue selection and processing to the needs of paraffin-embedded sections and by introducing a robust immunoreaction (AT8) for hyperphosphorylated tau protein that can be processed on an automated basis.
