Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the level of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer Disease subject (mild to moderate) estimated with Binding Potential (BP) of \[18F\]DPA-714, and its relationship with the kinetics of cognitive decline over a 24-month follow-up period (as assessed by Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores).

Inclusion criteria

* Informed consent * Age more than 50 years (included) * necessary knowledge of French (write and oral) to do neuropsychological tests * Study level upper (or equal) than 7 years (considering first year of grammar-school as start) * People with Alzheimer Disease defined as National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS) and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA) standards : Light to mild AD defined by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score between 15 and 25 (included) * Social security affiliation.

Exclusion criteria
