and MMSE was found in the occipital lobes for the combined AD+MCI+HC (Pearson 0.82, p1⁄40.0465) and AD (Pearson 0.99, p1⁄40.01) groups. Conclusions:Based on relatively small number of studies, no apparent relationship between change on brain amyloid burden and cognition in AD was found. In contrast, the negative correlation seen in MCI suggests that PiB PET changes may be a useful biomarker in earlier disease phases. The significant finding in the correlation between changes in amyloid deposition in the occipital lobe and MMSE warrants further study. Limitation included the paucity of studies having longitudinal data on both brain amyloid burden and clinical measures and heterogeneity amongst studies.
