Histopathological reports suggest that subregions of the thalamus, which regulates multiple physiological and cognitive processes, are not uniformly affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Despite this, structural neuroimaging studies often consider the thalamus as a single region. Identification of in vivo Alzheimer’s-dependent volumetric changes in thalamic subregions may aid the characterization of early nuclei-specific neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we leveraged access to the largest single-mutation cohort of autosomal-dominant Alzheimer’s disease to test whether cross-sectional abnormalities in subregional thalamic volumes are evident in non-demented mutation carriers (n = 31), compared to non-carriers (n = 36), and whether subregional thalamic volume is associated with age, markers of brain pathology and cognitive performance. Using automatic parcellation we examined the thalamus in six subregions (anterior, lateral, ventral, intralaminar, medial, and posterior) and their relation to age and brain pathology (amyloid and tau), as measured by PET imaging. No between-group differences were observed in the volume of the thalamic subregions. In carriers, lower volume in the medial subregion was related to increased cortical amyloid and entorhinal tau burden. These findings suggest that thalamic Alzheimer’s-related volumetric reductions are not uniform even in preclinical and prodromal stages of autosomal-dominant Alzheimer’s disease and therefore, this structure should not be considered as a single, unitary structure in Alzheimer’s disease research. Pardilla-Delgado et al. studied individuals with autosomal-dominant Alzheimer’s disease and found that lower medial and posterior thalamic subregional volumes were associated with greater amyloid and tau burden, years before clinical onset. Findings suggest that studying thalamic sub-regions could improve our understanding of the role of this structure in Alzheimer’s disease.
