Synopsis

Keywords: Alzheimer's Disease, DiabetesSubcortical atrophy and increased cerebral β-amyloid and tau deposition are linked to cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes. However, whether and how subcortical atrophy is related to Alzheimer’s pathology in diabetes remains unclear. We investigated the subcortical structural alterations induced by diabetes and the relationship between subcortical alteration, Alzheimer’s pathology and cognition. Our results suggested that although both type 2 diabetes and AD are correlated with subcortical neurodegeneration, type 2 diabetes have no direct or indirect effect on the cerebral amyloid deposition and CSF p-tau.
