Figure 1 Four emergent clusters from hierarchical clustering. n=34 in cluster 1; n=35 in cluster 2; n=23 in cluster 3; n=11 in cluster 4. ANOVA showed the following significant differences between clusters by biomarker at p<0.05: CSF Aβ42(4>1>2<4; CSF t-tau 3>4>2>1; PiB DVR 4>(3,2,1).

Figure 2 Lateral and medial views of statistical maps thresholded at p<0.001 from PiB ANCOVA rendered onto a template brain. Regions where cluster 4 had greater amyloid accumulation than A) cluster 3, B) cluster 2, and C) cluster 1. Colorbars of T-values ranging from 0-6 are on the right. Significant peaks and clusters (p<0.05 with family wise error correction for multiple comparisons) are described in Table 1.

Figure 3 WM S-R estimated marginal means of Logical Memory A) Immediate Recall and B) Delayed Recall. Cluster 4 scored worse than cluster 1 on Immediate Recall and worse than clusters 1, 2, and 3 on Delayed Recall at p<0.05.
