Title:Evaluating neural correlates of apathy in Alzheimer’s disease
Date of Request:09/18/2023
Status:pending approval
ID:DIAN-D2322
Aim 1:Aim1. We will seek to determine if apathy is embedded in a larger network of NPS and functional and cognitive impairment using clustering analysis. In the subset of data with neuropathology information, we will identify the association between apathy clusters and neuropathology.
Aim 2:Aim2. We will examine brain morphometry, structural connectivity, metabolism, amyloid PET in reward-sensitive areas, and effort valuation processing areas in apathy and/or its networks.
Aim 3:Aim3. We will evaluate the association between the intrinsic time scale (fMRI) and apathy and apathy networks in the course of disease.
