In vivo evidence for pre‐symptomatic neuroinflammation in a MAPT mutation carrier
2 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Neuroinflammation occurs in frontotemporal dementia, however its timing relative to protein aggregation and neuronal loss is unknown. Using positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to quantify these processes in a pre-symptomatic carrier of the 10 + 16 MAPT mutation, we show microglial activation in frontotemporal regions, despite a lack of protein aggregation or atrophy in these areas. The...
