Imaging Study Implicates Reactive Astrocyte-Neuron Interaction in Alzheimer’s Cognitive Decline

PET imaging with 11C-acetate and 18F-FDG was used to visualize the reactive astrocyte-induced acetate hypermetabolism and associated neuronal glucose hypometabolism in brains with neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease.
