    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2019-03-08 Brain scans and imaging

    Age is an important determinant of severity of cortical tau uptake in atypical AD, with young participants more likely to show widespread and severe cortical tau uptake.

  2. Patterns of gray matter atrophy in genetic frontotemporal dementia: results from the GENFI study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2017-10-19 Brain scans and imaging

    Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a highly heritable condition with multiple genetic causes.

  3. Grey matter atrophy in cognitively impaired Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2011-09-02 Brain scans and imaging

    Marked grey matter atrophy occurs in PD with dementia but far less extensive changes are evident in PD-MCI.

  4. White matter damage in Alzheimer disease and its relationship to gray matter atrophy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Radiology 2010-12-21 Brain scans and imaging

    In AD, the observed patterns of WM abnormalities may reflect the advanced phase of a secondary degenerative process and an association, especially in the early phases of the disease, with primary WM tract damage over and above GM abnormalities.
