Cody, et al., use temporal modelling to show that Alzpath and Lilly plasma p-tau217 can provide individualized estimates of p-tau217 positive age and time 👉 buff.ly/1XxoCFl #Alzhimers @tobeybetthauser

And, oh, yes, the winners of the 2026 PET-tle Royale!

And applause for our HAI travel scholarships and the AAIC/ISTAART fellowship winners!

Basche et al. explore the utility of proper name recall and practice effects as indicators of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease. They show that practice effects may be sensitive to PET biomarker status 👉 buff.ly/u1Dx0il #Alzhimers

Zammit et al. show that Alzheimer's disease biomarker changes occur earlier and progress more rapidly in people with Down syndrome vs the general population, highlighting the need for earlier therapeutic interventions. tinyurl.com/4fzd677t

Advances in neuroimaging for AD and related dementias highlighted in new @NeuroimagingPIA article Read about: ➡️Updates to diagnostic/staging criteria ➡️Harmonization guidelines ➡️Evaluating biomarkers for treatment benefits ➡️New tracer developments alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

Please join us for tomorrow's virtual Grand Rounds with our own @tobeybetthauser, #Geriatrics and Gerontology, presenting “Neuroimaging and Fluid Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease.” Details: medicine.wisc.edu/grand-rounds

New first-author pub is out! @tobeybetthauser alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… With tau PET we found ⬆️ amyloid, APOE ε4, and ⬇️ education were linked to earlier tau pathology onset (T+). We also saw a median of ~7.5 years from T+ to dementia, and shorter times for people older at T+.

Congrats to @margoheston on publication of her manuscript in Alzheimer's & Dementia on understanding what contributes to when tau pathology becomes detectable by PET, and the time from T+ to dementia onset. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

The de Leon Prizes in Neuroimaging recognize scientists from @ISTAART’s community of researchers and clinicians judged to have published “best papers” in the field of neuroimaging of neurodegenerative processes. The 2025 de Leon Prize honorees at #AAIC25 are as follows 🧵

What a plenary! Congratulations @EmmaCoomans for such a great presentation at #AIC today, summarising the main neuroimaging papers of the year. Very exciting way to start #AAIC2025 🇨🇦

Great to start to #AIC25 this morning in Toronto!

We started #AIC25 off with a great plenary by @EmmaCoomans giving the yearly "Year in Review"! Such an informative and comprehensive talk, giving a great overview of all the important neuroimaging work of the last year. See the last image for a QR code to download slides! 👏👏

If you are attending AIC, are an ECR, and would like the opportunity to ask all your career-related questions, sign up to have lunch with some great mentors! Also consider our Neuroimaging-Buddy system for AAIC/AIC if you would like to network with other ECRs! See 👇

Last couple of days to submit your neuroimaging work to be featured during the #AIC2025 year-in-review plenary by @EmmaCoomans. Please submit to the survey below. @NeuroimagingPIA act.alz.org/site/R?i=eOejF…
