The purpose of this research study is to evaluate adult children of parents with and without Alzheimer's disease which represent an ideal population for investigating the biological changes that precede the clinical onset of AD. The investigators will be imaging the brain to detect the presence of amyloid deposits (plaques in the brain). Amyloid is a protein that may be related to dementia of Alzheimer's disease (DAT).
This study will use a radioactive tracer called [11C]-Pittsburgh Compound B (11C]PIB), which is a tracer that binds to beta amyloid protein in the brain. This compound is considered investigational, which means that it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

| [11C] Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB) | Drug | Participants will receive a single intravenous bolus injection of 6.0 - 20.0 mCi (222-740 MBq) of the investigational radiotracer [11C] PIB. Participants will then undergo a [11C] PIB PET/CT scan conducted in the Center for Clinical Imaging Research (CCIR) facility. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| develop an integrated timeline for the imaging changes which occur during the transition from asymptomatic to symptomatic AD | the annual rate of CDR progression will accelerate due to the aging of the ACS cohort., and estimate that among ~375 ACS participants who either remain CDR 0 currently and will continue to be clinically assessed or will be the new future enrollees, a total of 45 individuals will progress to CDR>0 by the end of next funding cycle. | 5 years |
