    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-09-24 Brain scans and imaging

    Previous brain-autopsy findings suggest that the myelin levels-which differ substantially between white matter tracts in the brain-are a key modulating factor of region-specific susceptibility to tau deposition.

  2. Cerebrovascular resistance: effects on cognitive decline, cortical atrophy, and progression to dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2017-07-01 Brain scans and imaging

    In contrast, the cerebrovascular resistance index was significantly elevated in amyloid-positive versus amyloid-negative cases, with additional elevation in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
