abstract = {The cholinergic system plays a central role in episodic
memory-related processes in health and disease. Cerebral
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, a measure of the
integrity of the cholinergic system, can be assessed in vivo
using positron emission tomography (PET) and
[11C]N-methyl-4-piperidyl acetate (MP4A). A close
relationship between the kinetic constant k3 of MP4A and
mnestic functions has been demonstrated for patients
suffering from amnestic mild cognitive impairment and
Alzheimer's disease. Under the hypothesis that AChE activity
and memory are intimately linked in older age, we obtained
MP4A-PET and structural magnetic resonance images as well as
neuropsychological data from fourteen healthy older adults.
Multiple regression analysis revealed that AChE activity in
areas previously implicated in mnestic functions predicted
episodic memory performance irrespective of cortical
atrophy. Data suggest that in older adults the integrity of
the cholinergic system underlies inter-individual
variability in memory function.},
