Longitudinal Assessment of A-beta and Cognition in Aging and Alzheimer Disease
Ann Neurol 69:181-192, Villemagne,V.L.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A( deposition increases slowly from cognitive normality to moderate severity DAT. Extensive A( deposition precedes cognitive impairment, and is associated with ApoE genotype and a higher risk of cognitive declines in HCs and progression from MCI to DAT over 1 to 2 years. However, cognitive decline is only weakly related to change in A( burden, suggesting that downstream factors have a more direct effect on symptom progression.
