First observation of the Early Link between Proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease

State-of-the-art automatic brainstem segmentation methods were used to extract tau burden in its first aggregation site, that is, in the brainstem monoaminergic grey matter (bmGM). Beta-amyloid (Aβ) burden was extracted in the earliest cortical aggregation regions, i.e. in the bilateral medial superior frontal, inferior temporal, and fusiform areas.

Study conducted by researchers from the GIGA CRC In vivo Imaging laboratory at ULiège demonstrates, for the first time in humans, how the first deposits of tau proteins in the brainstem are associated with neurophysiological processes specific to the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease development.

During the pre-clinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease, i.e...
