You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Influence of common reference regions on regional tau patterns in cross-sectional and longitudinal [18F]-AV-1451 PET data

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. NeuroImage 2021-09-03 Brain scans and imaging

    Tau PET has allowed for critical insights into in vivo patterns of tau accumulation and change in individuals early in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.

  2. Cryptic Sites in Tau Fibrils Explain the Preferential Binding of the AV-1451 PET Tracer toward Alzheimer's Tauopathy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. ACS chemical neuroscience 2021-06-21 Brain scans and imaging

    In contrast, tau tracer AV-1451 is reported to bind to specific types of tau fibrils (in particular to AD-associated and CTE) with higher binding affinity and only show nonspecific or weaker binding toward tau fibrils dominant with 3R isoforms (associated with PiD).

  3. [18F]AV-1451 PET in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia due to MAPT mutation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2016-10-18 Brain scans and imaging

    The validation of tau radioligands could improve the diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration and the assessment of disease-modifying therapies.
