Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The present study aimed at measuring cerebral changes in Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients, who responded to strict physiological criteria typical of AD pathology. The objective of the present study was to identify the earliest alterations in cerebral connections that could contribute to the initial episodic memory impairment.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Patients with Alzheimer Disease

Patients will have Neuroimaging by Florbetapir (AV-45)-positron emission tomography

Radiation: Neuroimaging
AV45-positron emission tomography

Active Comparator: Controls patients

Controls will have neuroimaging by AV45-positron emission tomography

Radiation: Neuroimaging
AV45-positron emission tomography

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. fixing the AV-45 during PET [baseline]

    compare fixing the AV-45 during a examination emission tomography (PET) between three different groups: healthy subjects, patients with Alzheimer's disease and a mild stage patients of Alzheimer's disease at a pre-dementia stage

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Deposition of amyloid protein [baseline]

    Correlation between the deposition of amyloid protein assessed by metabolic imaging (AV-45) and cognitive performance in a group of patients with Alzheimer's disease compared to a control group

  2. Standard Cognitive function [Baseline]

    no memory performance: language (OD 80), executive functions (TMT A and B, evocations formal and categorical lexical, Stroop test, Pyramid-palm tree test Visual and Verbal) praxis visuo-constructive (copy of the figure of Rey) ; working memory (span of front and back numbers, subtest of the WAIS code-III)

  3. Specific memory evaluation [Baseline]

    anterograde verbal memory (test Gröber and Buschke), memory unique items (visual DMS48), semantic memory (sub-test information of theWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS))

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
60 Years to 85 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
For all subjects :
  • Capacities visual, auditory (authorized devices) and oral or written expression sufficient for the proper performance of tests

  • Obtain informed written consent of the subject

Patients with AD :
  • Outpatient accompanied by a "helping"

  • No parenchymal lesions allowing isolation explain the symptoms on brain MRI (T1 and T2) carried more than 6 months prior to enrollment in the study. Patients with more than three hyperintense white matter or visible lacunar infarction or T2 FLAIR will not be included in the study.
