Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology commonly coexists
with other age-related neuropathologies in the brain of
older persons. Although brain atrophy is considered a
biomarker of AD pathology, other neuropathologies may
also lead to brain atrophy, and only a handful of
studies with a number of limitations have combined brain
MR volumetry/morphometry with measures of neuropathology
obtained after death. Thus, the relation between brain
atrophy and age-related neuropathology is not
well-established. The purpose of this investigation was
to assess the neuropathologic correlates of brain
macrostructure by combining ex-vivo MRI RAVENS maps and
pathology information on a large community cohort of
older persons.
