  1. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Liver Fibrosis, and Regional Amyloid-β and Tau Pathology in Middle-Aged Adults: The Framingham Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2022-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    This study suggests a possible association between liver fibrosis and early Alzheimer's disease pathology, independently of cardio-metabolic risk factors.

  2. Association of Midlife Depressive Symptoms with Regional Amyloid-β and Tau in the Framingham Heart Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2021-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Although longitudinal studies are necessary, the results suggest that APOE ɛ4 carriers with depressive symptoms may present with higher susceptibility to early tau accumulation in regions integral to affective regulation and memory consolidation.

  3. Regional brain hypometabolism is unrelated to regional amyloid plaque burden

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2015-09-29 Brain scans and imaging

    Recent imaging studies investigating the regional dependency between metabolism and amyloid plaque deposition have arrived at conflicting results, with some showing regional associations and other not.

  4. Regional amyloid burden and intrinsic connectivity networks in cognitively normal elderly subjects

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2014-09-29 Brain scans and imaging

    Although previous studies demonstrated decreased functional connectivity in the default mode network in the cognitively normal older adults with amyloid burden, effects of amyloid burden in the other large-scale intrinsic connectivity networks are not yet clear.
