PROJECT SUMMARY: Neuroimaging Core The Neuroimaging Core (NC) plays an integral role in the UC Davis (UCD) ADRC scientific mission by providing imaging-based structural and functional markers of aging and disease processes. These imaging biomarkers support the primary aim of the UCD ADRC to understand factors that influence cognitive trajectories from normal aging to dementia. Building on nearly 15 years of success, the NC will continue to provide services related to acquisition, storage, post-processing and dissemination of imaging data. In addition, the NC will collaborate with other departments at UC Davis as well as other institutions to develop novel state- of-the-art methods for measuring the lifespan course of brain injury leading to dementia. The Aims of the NC reflect the steady progression of its capabilities. The NC is now a mature component of the ADRC that enriches the other Cores and the AD research community. It currently provides raw images to the Clinical and Neuropathology Cores to support diagnostic activities. The NC also provides validated state-of- the-art measurements of brain structure and function to the Data Management and Statistics Core and other collaborating centers to support research projects. Finally, the NC works with the Research Education Component and the Outreach Recruitment and Education Core to train investigators in neuroimaging methods and disseminate information regarding imaging related research. The addition of Dr. Audrey Fan to the NC brings a new dimension of expertise in the use of MRI and PET imaging for new biomarkers of vascular disease, aging and cognitive change. In addition to imaging acquisition expertise, she provides a strong link to the Biomedical Engineering Department at UC Davis and to new facilities such as the total-body EXPLORER PET scanner. The novel imaging strategies and kinetic modeling approaches from Dr. Fan’s lab complement existing NC research capabilities. With over 20 grants, including SCAN, currently supporting image acquisitions and processing by the NC, we provide benefits national and international collaborations that are far beyond the level of Core funding. The overall goals of the NC to image brain injury leading to dementia aligns with the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) mission to identify pre-symptomatic AD, establishing early imaging biomarkers through large public-private studies such as ADNI. The goals of NC are to continue to provide essential resources to the UCD ADRC and build new capabilities at the forefront of neuroimaging.

项目总结：神经影像核心 神经成像核心（NC）在加州大学戴维斯分校（UCD）ADRC科学使命中发挥着不可或缺的作用， 提供衰老和疾病过程的基于成像的结构和功能标记。这些成像 生物标志物支持UCD ADRC的主要目的，以了解影响认知的因素 从正常衰老到痴呆的轨迹。在近15年成功的基础上，NC将继续 提供与成像数据的获取、存储、后处理和传播有关的服务。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， NC将与加州大学戴维斯分校其他部门以及其他机构合作， 用于测量导致痴呆的脑损伤的寿命过程的最先进的方法。 国家委员会的目标反映了其能力的稳步发展。NC现在是 ADRC丰富了其他核心和AD研究社区。它目前提供原始图像， 支持诊断活动的临床和神经病理学核心。NC还提供经验证的 最先进的大脑结构和功能的测量数据管理和统计核心和其他 合作中心，以支持研究项目。最后，NC与研究性教育相结合 组件和外展招募和教育核心，以培训神经成像方法的研究者 并传播有关成像相关研究的信息。 Audrey Fan博士加入NC为MRI和PET的使用带来了新的专业知识 血管疾病、衰老和认知变化的新生物标志物的成像。除了成像采集 专业知识，她提供了一个强大的联系，生物医学工程系在加州大学戴维斯分校和新的 例如全身EXPLORER PET扫描仪。新的成像策略和动力学建模 范博士实验室的方法补充了现有的数控研究能力。 有超过20个赠款，包括扫描，目前支持图像采集和处理的NC，我们 提供远远超过核心资金水平的国家和国际合作的好处。的 NC的总体目标是对导致痴呆的脑损伤进行成像，这与国家阿尔茨海默病项目一致 美国国家适应行动计划（NAPA）的使命是识别症状前AD，通过大规模的 公共和私人研究，如ADNI。国家协调委员会的目标是继续向联合国提供必要的资源， UCD ADRC并在神经影像学的最前沿建立新的能力。
