General Atrophy in Alzheimer’s Disease Red highlights depict the enlarged ventricular system, typically found in AD. This type of change is found with all degenerative diseases and is a non-specific finding reflecting the loss of brain tissue. Some studies have pointed to temporal horn enlargements as most informative in AD as it may reflect the local damage to the medial temporal lobe. Recent studies suggest that knowledge of the magnitude of the brain CSF volume is of interest in correcting for the dilution of spinal fluid concentrations of proteins such as tau or hyperphosphorylated tau. These proteins are experimentally used in diagnostic testing for AD. References: de Leon MJ, George AE, Reisberg B, Longitudinal CT studies of ventricular change in Alzheimer's disease.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies of glucose metabolism are sensitive to the damages caused by AD. In clinically recognized AD, metabolic reductions in the temporo-parietal and posterior cingulate gyrus areas are useful indicators of disease. In less advanced cases the damage may be more restricted to the medial temporal lobe. In the figure, widespread damage to the medial and lateral temporal lobe can be seen in the patient with AD on the right relative to control.

The horse race illustration represents the problem of trying to determine the first horse out of the proverbial barn. In this case the horses are brain areas and the challenge is to identify which region is first involved in AD. Such knowledge would be most valuable for early diagnosis. The slide depicts the hypothesized entorhinal cortex as the first horse to leave and cross the threshold of MCI. References: Mosconi,L.; De Santi,S.; Rusinek,H.; Convit,A.; de Leon,M.J.

Brain Staging Model for AD Normal MCI AD Entorhinal Cortex Hippocampus Temporal Neocortex Some years ago Braak and Braak presented a model of AD brain involvement based on the frequency and location of the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles. This has led to the simplified hypothesis testable with in vivo imaging that the entorhinal cortex as mentioned in slide #4 is the first involved area followed by the hippocampus and then the neocortical temporal cortex.

This rendering of an MRI scan depicts the size and spatial relationships between the whole brain and the hippocampus, in red, and the entorhinal cortex, in yellow. To create this view the anatomy was drawn on about 50 thin (1mm) MRI slices and then reformatted to create this 3-D view. References: M. J. de Leon, M. Bobinski, A. Convit, and S. De Santi.

This photo of the inferior aspect of the brain shows several landmarks that are useful in defining the boundaries of the entorhinal cortex using MRI. Yellow is the anterior rhinal sulcus, and blue is the posterior collateral sulcus. The red arrows point to the medial boundary of the entorhinal cortex tissue.

This axial MRI image of the inferior aspect of the brain shows landmarks that are useful in defining the boundaries of the entorhinal cortex. Yellow is the anterior rhinal sulcus, and blue is the posterior collateral sulcus. The red arrows show the medial boundary of the tissue. Note that the photographed anatomy depicted in slide #7 is from another patient.

MRI scans at baseline and after 3 years showing’ in red’ the reduction in size of the entorhinal surface in a patient that deteriorated from normal to MCI. Note that the determination of a brain effect requires that many more slices be used depicting the full anterior-posterior extent of the entorhinal cortex.

PET scans at baseline and after 3 years in a normal individual who remained within normal limits. The arrows highlight the unchanged region of the entorhinal cortex.

PET scans at baseline and after 3 years in a normal individual who declined to MCI. The arrows highlight the region of the entorhinal cortex. Note the metabolism reductions from the normal case. Also note that other regions appear affected. However, in a published study only the entorhinal cortex glucose metabolism reductions reached significance. It is possible that with a larger sample other regions would also reach significance. This example points out that brain changes predicting clinical decline can occur many years prior to the clinical changes.

MRI depicting the atrophy of the hippocampus in several clinical stages. Note how this anatomy decreases in size with increasing levels of disease (MCI to AD-mild to AD-moderate). It is of interest that this anatomy can also be studied with MRI systems dedicated to the small volume of the mouse brain. In the human with AD, hippocampal volume loss is a strong correlate of neuronal atrophy. The presence of hippocampal atrophy in patients with MCI is a strong predictor of future decline (within 3 years) to clinically recognized AD.

The frequency of detected (clinically read) hippocampal atrophy increases as a function of age. As such nearly 50% of individuals at age 80 show evidence for atrophy. For individuals with the clinical diagnosis of MCI or AD the presence of atrophy is not age-dependent. In other words, the disease effect is greater than the age effect.

Using the regional boundary shift method, the computer identified the red areas as having changed from a brain to CSF intensity. The regions in red were identified as having become atrophic over the study interval.

Conclusions In vivo imaging is of use in the early identification of brain changes associated with AD. The patterns of imaged brain changes appear to first involve the entorhinal cortex, then the hippocampus, and later the neocortex. Conclusions
