Recent pathologic and metabolic studies of very early Alzheimer’s disease suggest a discordance in the distribution between traditional pathologic changes and glucose metabolic reduction. Traditional pathologic changes in very early stages of AD are shown to occur in the medial temporal lobe, specifically in the entorhinal cortex. 1 In contrast, very early glucose metabolic reductions occur in the lateral association cortices and posterior cingulate cortex. 2 This study addresses the possible pathophysiological mechanisms explaining such discordance between metabolic and pathologic changes using positron emission tomography (PET).
