Early brainstem [18F]THK5351 uptake is linked to cortical hyperexcitability in healthy aging
BACKGROUND Neuronal hyperexcitability characterizes the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In animals, early misfolded tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) protein accumulation — both central to AD neuropathology — promote cortical excitability and neuronal network dysfunction. In healthy humans, misfolded...
