  1. Tau positron emission tomography using [18F]THK5351 and cerebral glucose hypometabolism in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2017-08-12 Brain scans and imaging

    This study aims to evaluate the clinical validity of [ 18 F]THK5351 positron emission tomography (PET) for the assessment of disease progression and symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Apolipoprotein E, not fibrillar β-amyloid, reduces cerebral glucose metabolism in normal aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2012-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The ε4 allele of the polymorphic apolipoprotein E gene is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ), and reduction in cerebral glucose metabolism in asymptomatic people.
