7/🧵 These results suggest that hemispheric difference in Aβ deposition, rather than reduction in connectivity, is associated with asymmetric tau accumulation, highlighting regional vulnerability as a crucial factor in determining the distribution of AD pathology.

A thread🧵👇
6/🧵Taken together, we present an accurate two-step approach for predicting LBP in the brain using a smell test followed by CSF SAA testing in smell-test positive individuals. This could minimize costs, reduce patient burden, and improve the known underdiagnosis of DLB and PD.

7⃣This suggests that region-specific atrophy functions as one pathway of tau-induced cognitive subdomain impairments. Yet, large portions of variance remains unexplained, highlighting the need for investigating other mechanistic links.🔬
8⃣A huge thank you to all authors as well as the #ADNI study participants who made this work possible. Your contributions are vital for advancing our understanding of the disease and contribute to #ENDALZ.
6⃣Do certain regions uniquely mediate a given tau-cognition association? - Yes, tau–immediate recall was mediated by several MTL regions, tau–recognition by hippocampus & tau–semantic fluency by inferior temporal gyrus.

In conclusion, p-Tau217ALZpath exhibited similar performance to p-Tau181Lilly, but its correlations with AD pathology measures were significantly lower than p-Tau217Lilly. Future studies are needed to replicate these findings in larger cohorts.
