  1. Association of entorhinal cortical tau deposition and hippocampal synaptic density in older individuals with normal cognition and early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2021-11-20 Brain scans and imaging

    Sites of early neuropathologic change provide important clues regarding the initial clinical features of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Left frontal connectivity attenuates the adverse effect of entorhinal tau pathology on memory

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Neurology 2019-06-24 Brain scans and imaging

    Both gLFC and FPCN connectivity are associated with higher resilience against the adverse effect of early-stage entorhinal tau pathology on memory performance.

  3. [18 F]AV-1451 clustering of entorhinal and cortical uptake in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2018-02-06 Brain scans and imaging

    This study demonstrates considerable variability in [ 18 F]AV-1451 tau-PET uptake in AD, but shows that a straightforward clustering based on entorhinal and cortical uptake maps well onto age and clinical presentation in AD.
