Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are often present in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. NPS are associated with structural and functional changes in the brain such as atrophy, regional hypometabolism, and hypoperfusion, considered proxies of neurodegeneration. Our objective was to evaluate the association between NPS and regional cerebral tau burden, a more direct representation of neurodegeneration, in cognitively normal (CN), MCI, and AD dementia individuals.
