Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: Healthy elderly subjects with declining (n = 10) or stable (n = 10) episodic memory over 15 years were recruited from the population-based Betula study and examined with PET. Brain radioactivity was measured after intravenous administration of [(11)C] AZD2184. The binding potential BP ND was calculated using linear graphical analysis with the cerebellum as reference region. RESULTS: The binding of [(11)C] AZD2184 in total grey matter was generally low in the declining group, whereas some binding could be observed in the stable group. Mean BP ND was significantly higher in the stable group compared to the declining group (p = 0.019). An observation was that the three subjects with the highest BP ND were ApoE ε4 allele carriers.
