Cognition, Reserve, and Amyloid Deposition in Normal Aging
OBJECTIVE To determine whether amyloid deposition is associated with impaired neuropsychological (NP) performance and whether cognitive reserve (CR) modifies this association. METHODS In 66 normal elderly controls and 17 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), we related brain retention of Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) to NP performance and evaluated the impact of CR using education and American ...

Nonetheless, the validati...
