Resting-State Glucose Metabolism Level Is Associated with the Regional Pattern of Amyloid Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease

It has been suggested that glucose metabolism within the brain's default network is directly associated with—and may even cause—the amyloid pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we performed 2-[F18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) and [11C]-labeled Pittsburgh Compound B (PIB) positron...
