Fig. 3From: Regional tau deposition measured by [18F]THK5317 positron emission tomography is associated to cognition via glucose metabolism in Alzheimer’s diseaseCausal mediation analyses. The model, presented in (a), assessed the effect of [18F]FDG regional uptake (mediator) on the relationship between [18F]THK5317 retention (independent variable) in the same region and cognitive performance (dependent variable). (b) Results for the four associations tested. Significant results are displayed in bold.
