Conclusions: Our preliminary results show alterations in behavioral and functional parameters in a signal detection task that are consistent with hypothesis (exception: shorter latency of P300b in AD patients). Our results demand confirmation in a larger sample and a demonstration that the parameters are sensitive to pharmacological manipulations of the NE systems. We suggest that these parameters might be suitable surrogate markers for pharmacological interventions targeting the LC-NE-system in AD.
