Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 allele confers risk for age and Alzheimer's disease related cognitive decline but the mechanistic link remains poorly understood. Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response in the fusiform gyrus (FG) during object naming appears greater among APOEɛ4 carriers even in the face of equivalent cognitive performance, suggesting neural compensation. However, BOLD is...
