Spatial loadings for the first canonical distance correlation component. The strongest weights in the β-amyloid eigenimage are spread over large areas of the cortex, while the strongest weights corresponding to the tau map are localized within the lateral inferior temporal gyri and fusiform gyri.
A Canonical Distance Correlation Analysis was applied to a matched sample of β-amyloid and tau PET images.
The first canonical component accounted for 26.31% of the total co-variability between β-amyloid and tau.
Panel A in the figure shows the spatial loadings corresponding to β-amyloid, where the strongest positive weights appeared spread over the medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices, precuneus, lateral inferior temporal gyri, and fusiform gyri.
Panel B in the figure shows the spatial loadings corresponding to tau, where the strongest positive loads are localized within the lateral inferior temporal gyri and the bilateral fusiform gyrus.
