Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cerebral atrophy, which may be assessed by using volumetric MRI. We describe a voxel-based analysis of nonlinear-registered serial MRI to demonstrate the most statistically significant ( P < 0.001) regions of change at different stages of the disease. We compared presymptomatic ( n = 4), mild ( n = 10), and moderately affected ( n = 12) patients with early- and late-onset AD, with age- and sex-matched controls, and demonstrated increasing global atrophy with advancing disease. Significantly increased rates of hippocampal atrophy were seen in presymptomatic and mildly affected patients. There was a shift in the distribution of temporal lobe atrophy with advancing disease; the inferolateral regions of the temporal lobes showed the most significantly increased rates of atrophy by the time the patients were mildly or moderately affected. Significantly increased rates of medial parietal lobe atrophy were seen at all stages, with frontal lobe involvement occurring later in the disease. Our results suggest that the sites showing the most significant rates of atrophy alter as the disease advances, and that regional atrophy is already occurring before the onset of symptoms. This technique provides insights into the natural history of AD, and may be a valuable tool in assessing the efficacy of disease-modifying treatments, especially if these treatments were to have region-specific effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
