abstract = {Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a
heterogenous syndrome considered as a risk factor for
developing dementia. Previous work examining morphological
brain changes in MCI has identified a temporo-parietal
atrophy pattern that suggests a common neuroanatomical
denominator of cognitive impairment. Using functional
connectivity analyses of structurally affected regions in
MCI, we aimed to investigate and characterize functional
networks formed by these regions that appear to be
particularly vulnerable to disease-related disruptions.
Methods: Areas of convergent atrophy in MCI were derived
from a quantitative meta-analysis and encompassed left and
right medial temporal (i.e., hippocampus, amygdala), as well
as parietal regions (precuneus), which were defined as seed
regions for connectivity analyses. Both task-based
meta-analytical connectivity modeling (MACM) based on the
BrainMap database and task-free resting-state functional MRI
in a large cohort of older adults from the 1000BRAINS study
were applied. We additionally assessed behavioral
characteristics associated with the seed regions using
BrainMap meta-data and investigated correlations of
resting-state connectivity with age. Results: The left
temporal seed showed stronger associations with a
fronto-temporal network, whereas the right temporal atrophy
cluster was more linked to cortico-striatal regions. In
accordance with this, behavioral analysis indicated an
emphasis of the left temporal seed on language generation,
and the right temporal seed was associated with the domains
of emotion and attention. Task-independent co-activation was
more pronounced in the parietal seed, which demonstrated
stronger connectivity with a frontoparietal network and
associations with introspection and social cognition.
Correlation analysis revealed both decreasing and increasing
functional connectivity with higher age that may add to
pathological processes but also indicates compensatory
mechanisms of functional reorganization with increasing age.
Conclusion: Our findings provide an important
pathophysiological link between morphological changes and
the clinical relevance of major structural damage in MCI.
Multimodal analysis of functional networks related to areas
of MCI-typical atrophy may help to explain cognitive decline
and behavioral alterations not tractable by a mere
anatomical interpretation and therefore contribute to
prognostic evaluations.Copyright © 2020 Schnellbächer,
