“…Our previous work demonstrated a strong correlation between LC integrity and tau deposition in both autopsy and in vivo data 9 , suggesting a contribution of tau-related processes. The current findings are consistent with this, though neuromelanin, water, lipids 53 , 54 and other macromolecular elements are likely also playing a role. Neuropathology–imaging correlations are needed to disentangle the contribution of tau and other potential biological sources to the MRI signal.…”

“…Given the previously reported link between AD pathophysiological measures and actigraphy-derived 24-hour rest-activity patterns 6,57 or LC integrity 18,58 in asymptomatic individuals, collecting in vivo data related to ongoing AD pathophysiological processes would allow to evaluate their role in the highlighted associations already in the preclinical stage of the disease. Likewise, given the nature of the study sample, it mainly comprises very old individuals and additional studies in younger populations are therefore still required to examine earlier associations (eg, during midlife) between rest-activity patterns and LC integrity, for example by leveraging MRIderived investigation of LC structure and function in vivo, 59 in the context of initial AD-related processes.…”

“…However, a dichotomous functional division model of the LC might be oversimplistic, and technical difficulties concerning imaging of the LC (such as low spatial resolution of functional imaging techniques, inconvenient anatomical location, or noise from adjacent cerebrospinal fluid spaces; Engels-Domínguez et al, 2023 ) could hide a more complex underlying functional organization. Additionally, multiple overlapping axes of functional organization might be present that can confound current traditional cluster-based models that seek to divide the LC into subregions ( Haak and Beckmann, 2020 ; Poe et al, 2020 ).…”
