Extract

Theleritis and co-workers should be commended for producing the most comprehensive review on the neuroimaging correlates of apathy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The authors assessed studies using different imaging modalities such as structural neuroimaging with three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), single photon emission tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This scholarly review will be an excellent resource for future publications on neuroimaging in apathy.
