Processed FDG-PET data from: A computational model of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease

Disruption of mental functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders is accompanied by selective degeneration of brain regions. These regions comprise large-scale ensembles of cells organized into systems for mental functioning, however the relationship between clinical symptoms of dementia, patterns of neurodegeneration, and functional systems is not clear.  We developed a model of the association between dementia symptoms and degenerative brain anatomy using F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and dimensionality reduction techniques patients with AD. This data and code package contains preprocessed FDG-PET images from 423 subjects across the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum and the MATLAB code to produce eigenbrains from this data.
