Association of Aβ deposition and regional synaptic density in early Alzheimer’s disease: a PET imaging study with [11C]UCB-J

Abstract Background Attempts to associate amyloid-β (Aβ) pathogenesis with synaptic loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have thus far been limited to small numbers of postmortem studies. Aβ plaque burden is not well-correlated with indices of clinical severity or neurodegeneration—at least in the demen...
