This study utilizes high resolution 3D images acquired at 21.1 T to display the presence of amyloid plaques, which temporally correlate with the progression of structural connectivity alterations in this transgenic preclinical model. As a function of phenotype, age and gender, high resolution scans were performed on APP/PS1 mouse brains and age-matched wild-type controls. Data indicate that plaques may be visible in mice as young as 4 months without the use of any magnetic contrast agents.
