   Proposal Description:
   We aim to examine the neural correlates of apathy in Alzheimer's disease.  We want to look at regional gray matter volume, as well as gray matter thickness.    We hypothesize that apathy will be associated with gray matter volume and thickness deficits in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia.
