Background: The cascading network failure (CNF) model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology hypothesizes that synaptic activity related to shifts in large-scale functional network organization is causally related to observed beta-amyloid accumulation via alteration in amyloid precursor protein processing. Once the large-scale network reorganization interacts with vulnerable brain systems, a tau-related neurodegenerative process evolves within that system. To test these predications, we investigated the relationship between Tau-PET, task-free fMRI, and beta amyloid-PET in a cross-sectional sample spanning the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum.
