Abstract

AbstractMultiple neuropathological changes are involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The current study investigated the concurrence of neurodegeneration, increased iron content, atrophy, and demyelination in AD.Quantitative multiparameter MRI maps providing neuroimaging biomarkers for myelination and iron content along with synaptic density measurements using [18F] UCB-H PET were acquired in 24 AD and 19 Healthy controls (19 males).The whole brain voxel-wise group comparison revealed demyelination in the right hippocampus, while no significant iron content difference was detected. Bilateral atrophy and synaptic density loss was observed in the hippocampus and amygdala. The multivariate GLM (mGLM) analysis shows a bilateral difference in the hippocampus and amygdala, right pallidum, left fusiform and temporal lobe suggesting that these regions are the most affected despite the diverse changes in brain tissue properties in AD. Demyelination was identified as the most affecting factor in the observed differences.Here, the mGLM is introduced as an alternative for multiple comparisons between different modalities, reducing the risk of false positives while informing about the co-occurrence of neuropathological processes in AD.
