Official Title: Impact of Microglial Activation on Synaptic Density in Alzheimer's Disease

Brief Summary: This study aims to analyse, in vivo, the interplay between microglial activation and tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) using [18F]-DPA-714 and [18F]-Ro948 tracers by Position Emission Tomography (PET), and their consequences on synaptic density using [11C]-UCB-J, a recent PET radioligand.By coupling advanced neuroimaging techniques in AD patients, while comparing them to controls, we will be able to study, for the first time in humans, the interaction between neuroinflammation, tau pathology, synaptic…
