Association of EEG, MRI, and regional blood flow biomarkers is predictive of prodromal Alzheimer’s disease

Davide Vito Moretti IRCCS S Giovanni di Dio Fatebenefratelli, Brescia, Italy Background: Thinning in the temporoparietal cortex, hippocampal atrophy, and a lower regional blood perfusion is connected with prodromal stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Of note, an increase of electroencepha...
