11 May 2010. Below we list the 39 abstracts presented at the Human Amyloid Imaging Conference held 9 April 2010 in Toronto, Canada. All are published in the Alzforum Papers of the Week database. The accompanying news series covers some of these studies, but far from all; hence, this document offers the curious reader a wealth of new data to peruse. The Alzforum editors are grateful to co-organizer Keith Johnson for obtaining permission to publish the abstracts; we also thank all the authors for their generosity in sharing their latest data with the worldwide Alzheimer research community.—Gabrielle Strobel.
