differences in TSPO as well as associations between regional TSPO and select cognitive processes defined using the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework. Design: Cross-sectional investigation in VS-PWH (n = 25) versus HIV-uninfected individuals (n = 18) of cognitive control and declarative memory, as well as [11C]DPA-713 PET measures of TSPO within cognitive control and declarative memory regions of interest (ROI). Methods: Group differences in [11C]DPA-713 binding (VT) in cognitive control or declarative memory regions were examined using linear mixed models. Tests of associations between factor-derived cognitive system measures and PET measures were performed, controlling for TSPO genotype. Results: There were no group differences in any of the four factor-derived cognitive system measures. VS-PWH had higher log [11C]DPA-713 VT across cognitive control regions [unstandardized beta coefficient reflecting mean difference [B] = 0.23, SE = 0.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01–0.45
