This study aimed to investigate the influence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ and tau on reversion and conversion and the temporal sequence of their pathogenicity in MCI patients.<h4>Methods</h4>179 MCI patients were recruited from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database and classified into two groups based on cognitive changes after follow-up: reversal group (MCI to cognitively normal) and conversion group (MCI to Alzheimer's disease). Here, MAPT is linked to Alzheimer disease.
