abstract = {The precuneus is a site of early amyloid-beta (Aβ)
accumulation. Previous cross-sectional studies reported
increased precuneus fMRI activity in older adults with mild
cognitive deficits or elevated Aβ. However, longitudinal
studies in early Alzheimer's disease (AD) are lacking and
the relationship to the Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) genotype is
unclear. Investigating the PREVENT-AD dataset, we assessed
how baseline and longitudinal precuneus activity during
successful memory retrieval relates to future Aβ and tau
burden and change in memory performance. We further studied
the moderation by APOE4 genotype. We included 165 older
adults (age, 62.8 ± 4.4 years; 113 female; 66 APOE4
carriers) who were cognitively normal at baseline with a
family history of AD. All participants performed task-fMRI
at baseline and underwent 18F-flortaucipir-PET and
18F-NAV4694-Aβ-PET on average 5 years later. We found that
higher baseline activity and greater longitudinal increase
in precuneus activity were associated with higher Aβ burden
in APOE4 carriers but not noncarriers. We observed no
effects of precuneus activity on tau burden. Finally, APOE4
noncarriers with low baseline precuneus activity exhibited
better longitudinal performance in an independent memory
test compared with (1) noncarriers with higher baseline
activity and (2) APOE4 carriers. Our findings suggest that
higher task-related precuneus activity during memory
retrieval at baseline and over time are associated with
greater Aβ burden in cognitively normal APOE4 carriers. Our
results further indicate that the absence of
'hyperactivation' and the absence of the APOE4 allele is
related with better future cognitive outcomes in cognitively
normal older adults at risk for AD.},
