Functional network collapse in neurodegenerative disease

STUDY: A New Take on How Tau Spreads in the Brain — and Speeds Up Alzheimer's

Many people with Alzheimer’s disease first lose neurons in their medial temporal lobe — a region of the brain involved in memory, navigation, emotional... The post STUDY: A New Take on How Tau Spreads in the Brain — and Speeds Up Alzheimer’s appeared first on Being Patient.

The basics of PET molecular imaging in neurodegenerative disorders with dementia and/or parkinsonism

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging biomarkers have become crucial in understanding and diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders. PET imaging allows f

Functional network collapse in neurodegenerative disease

Cognitive and behavioral deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) result from brain atrophy and altered functional connectivity. However, it is unclear how atrophy relates to functional connectivity disruptions across dementia subtypes and stages. We addressed this q...
