Although it has been suggested that the amyloid-beta amplifies tau spreading the observed spatial disparity called it into question. Yet, it is unclear how neocortical amyloid-beta remotely affects early pathological tau, triggering it to leave the early formation area, and how amyloid-beta facilitates tau aggregate spreading throughout cortical regions. I aimed to investigate how amyloid-beta can facilitate tau spreading through neuronal connections in the Alzheimer\u2019s disease pathological process by combining functional magnetic resonance imaging normative connectomes and longitudinal in vivo molecular imaging data. In total, the imaging data of 317 participants, including 173 amyloid-beta-negative non-demented and 144 amyloid-beta -positive non-demented participants, have entered the study from Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Furthermore, normative resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging connectomes were used to model tau spreading through functional connections. It was observed that the amyloid-beta in regions with the highest deposition (amyloid-beta epicenter) is remotely associated with connectivity-based spreading of tau pathology. Moreover, amyloid-beta in regions that exhibit the highest tau pathology (tau epicenter) is associated with increased connectivity\u2013based tau spreading to non-epicenter regions. The findings provide a further explanation for a long-standing question of how amyloid-beta can affect tau aggregate spreading through neuronal connections despite spatial incongruity. The results suggest that amyloid-beta pathology can remotely and locally facilitate connectivity-based spreading of tau aggregates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhae386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T11:07:52Z","timestamp":1727435272000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A\u03b2
