Abstract

Previous studies have shown aberrant functional connectivity in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the effects of beta-amyloid (Aβ) retention on regional functional synchronization in cognitively normal older adults still remain unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the distinctive association pattern between Aβ retention and regional functional synchronization in cognitively normal older adults. Sixty-one older adults with normal cognition underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging and regional functional synchronizations were quantified using regional homogeneity (ReHo). Subjects were dichotomized using 18F-Florbetaben positron emission tomography imaging into subjects with (Aβ+; n = 30) and without (Aβ-; n = 31) Aβ burden. The Aβ+ group exhibited significantly higher ReHo in the fusiform gyrus and lower ReHo in the precuneus compared with the Aβ- group. We found significant negative correlations between global Aβ retention and ReHo in the precuneus and medial prefrontal cortex and positive correlations between global Aβ retention and ReHo in the bilateral lingual gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, and right middle temporal gyrus in the Aβ+ group. Our findings suggest that regional functional synchronization...Continue Reading

Alzheimer's Disease: Early Markers

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive and behavioral decline. Targeting markers in the earliest stages of the disease may mitigate the progression of AD. This feed focuses on early diagnosis and markers, as well as environmental, pharmacological, and drug-response biomarkers associated with this disease.

Alzheimer's Disease: Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging can help identify pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here is the latest research on neuroimaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, in AD.

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease: Amyloid Beta

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain; these plaques are comprised of amyloid beta deposits. Here is the latest research in this field.
