Neuroinflammation is associated with the rising of early Alzheimer’s disease pathology in amyloid‐negative elderly

Amyloid‐β (Aβ) and tau are the two well‐recognised pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the recent decades, increasing evidence supports neuroinflammation as one of the earliest pathomechanistic alterations throughout the AD continuum. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of neuroinflammatory processes based on AD pathological status. Furthermore, it also remains elusive how longitudinal change of neuroinflammation affects cerebral amyloid and tau load in the trajectory of AD.
