Card Sort Test, with the largest correlations observed between binding in the inferior parietal lobule and performance on Block Design (r 1⁄4 0.575, p 1⁄4 0.003). [11 C]PBR28 binding also inversely correlated with gray matter volume in the inferior parietal lobule, superior temporal cortex, middle and inferior temporal cortex, entorhinal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, and precuneus (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Neuroinflammation, evidenced by increased [11 C]PBR28 binding to TSPO, occurs after conversion of MCI and worsens with AD progression. [11 C]PBR28 may be useful to predict conversion from MCI or to assess treatment response in AD.
