Abstract INTRODUCTION Overlooking the heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) may lead to diagnostic delays and failures. Neuroanatomical normative modeling captures individual brain variation and may inform our understanding of individual differences in AD‐related atrophy. METHODS We applied neuroanatomical normative modeling to magnetic resonance imaging from a real‐world clinical cohort with confirmed AD (n = 86). Regional cortical thickness was compared to a healthy reference cohort (n = 33,072) and the number of outlying regions was summed (total outlier count) and mapped at individual‐ and group‐levels. RESULTS The superior temporal sulcus contained the highest proportion of outliers (60%). Elsewhere, overlap between patient atrophy patterns was low. Mean total outlier count was higher in patients who were non‐amnestic, at more advanced disease stages, and without depressive symptoms. Amyloid burden was negatively associated with outlier count. DISCUSSION Brain atrophy in AD is highly heterogeneous and neuroanatomical normative modeling can be used to explore anatomo‐clinical correlations in individual patients. |
