Representative examples of MTL metabolic changes in each group. (A) An NC participant with preserved metabolism in the bilateral entorhinal cortex (black arrows). (B) patient with AD with progressive memory impairment exhibiting decreased metabolism in the bilateral entorhinal cortex (black arrows). (C) A patient with DLB with cognitive fluctuations and parkinsonism who exhibit bilateral relative hippocampal hypermetabolism (orange arrows). (D) MD patient with visual hallucinations and parkinsonism who exhibits bilateral relative amygdala hypermetabolism with an emphasis on the left side (red arrows) and left relative hippocampal hypermetabolism (orange arrow). Abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer’s disease; DLB, dementia with Lewy bodies; MD, mixed disease; MTL, medial temporal lobe; MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination; NC, normal control; UPDRS, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale
