Amyloid, tau and metabolic PET correlates of cognition in early and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Findings support tau PET as a biomarker that captures both the clinical severity and molecular pathology specific to AD. bit.ly/3yXs25E

ALT Mean images and group comparisons of biomarkers. (A) Mean interpolated surface projections of average SUVR maps are displayed for EOAD and LOAD subgroups for PIB-PET, FTP-PET, and FDG-PET. (B) Voxel-wise comparisons between groups, with significant differences.
