Microstructural Tissue Changes in Alzheimer Disease Brains: Insights from Magnetization Transfer Imaging [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS:
Alzheimer disease is associated with magnetization transfer ratio reductions in GM and WM regions of the brain. Lower magnetization transfer ratios in the entire cortex and AD-signature regions contribute to cognitive impairment independent of brain atrophy and WM damage.
