Longitudinal associations of apathy and regional tau in mild cognitive impairment and dementia: Findings from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
2024
Overview
Introduction It is important to study apathy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to better understand its underlying neurobiology and develop effective interventions. In the current study, we sought to examine the relationships between longitudinal apathy and regional tau burden in cognitively impaired older adults from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Methods Three hundred and nineteen ADNI participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD dementia underwent flortaucipir (FTP) tau positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and clinical assessment with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) annually. Longitudinal NPI Apathy (NPI‐A) scores were examined in relation to baseline tau PET signal in three a priori selected regions implicated in AD and AD‐related apathy (supramarginal gyrus, entorhinal cortex [EC] and rostral anterior cingulate cortex [rACC]). Secondary models were adjusted for global cognition (Mini‐Mental State Examination score) and cortical amyloid (florbetapir PET). Results Higher baseline supramarginal gyrus and EC tau burden were each significantly associated with greater NPI‐A over time, while rACC tau was associated with higher NPI‐A but did not predict its trajectory over time. These results were retained for supramarginal and EC tau after adjusting models for global cognition and cortical amyloid. Discussion Our findings suggest that baseline in vivo tau burden in parietal and temporal brain regions affected in AD, and less so in a medial frontal region involved in motivational control, is associated with increasing apathy over time in older adults with MCI and AD dementia. Future work studying emergent apathy in relation to not only core AD pathology but also circuit level dysfunction may provide additional insight into the neurobiology of apathy in AD and opportunities for intervention. Highlights Tau (Flortaucipir PET) in regions implicated in AD was associated with increasing apathy over time Cortical amyloid was also found to be a robust predictor of the trajectory of apathy Evidence of synergy between regional tau and amyloid in overall higher levels of apathy
