Summary of studies assessing neural basis of hallucinations in Alzheimer’s disease

Study Finding Method
Blanc et al. (2014) Association between hallucinations in AD and the right anterior-posterior network, and the anterior insula as the core region MRI/VBM (n = 39)
Donovan et al (2014) Association between hallucinations and supramarginal cortical thinning in AD MRI/T1W (n=809)
Holroyd et al. (2000) Association between visual hallucinations and visualcortex atrophy/parietal-occipitalsulcal widening in AD 1.5T MRI/T1W (n=14)
Lin et al. (2006) Association between visual hallucinations and increased occipital periventricular hyperintensities in AD 1.5T MRI/FLAIR (n=10)
Lopez et al. (2001) Association between hallucinations and frontotemporal/right parietal hypoperfusionin AD O-water PET (n=18)
Mega et al. (2000) Association between hallucinations and lower regional perfusion in the right and left dorsolateral frontal, left ventral striatal, left anterior cingulate, left pulvinar, and dorsolateral parietal cortex in AD Tc SPECT (n=20)
