This study investigated neural activity changes in patients with Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results showed alterations in the visual network in resting-state and task-based fMRI, indicating that these changes may serve as early biomarkers for aMCI.
BackgroundAmnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is a transitional state between normal aging and dementia, and identifying early biomarkers is crucial for disease detection and intervention. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has the potential to identify changes in neural activity in MCI. MethodsWe investigated neural activity changes in the visual network of the aMCI patients (n:20) and healthy persons (n:17) using resting-state fMRI and visual oddball task fMRI. We used independent component analysis to identify regions of interest and compared the activity between groups using a false discovery rate correction. ResultsResting-state fMRI revealed increased activity in the areas that have functional connectivity with the visual network, including the right superior and inferior lateral occipital cortex, the right angular gyrus and the temporo-occipital part of the right middle temporal gyrus (p-FDR = 0.008) and decreased activity in the bilateral thalamus and caudate nuclei, which are part of the frontoparietal network in the aMCI group (p-FDR = 0.002). In the visual oddball task fMRI, decreased activity was found in the right frontal pole, the right frontal orbital cortex, the left superior parietal lobule, the right postcentral gyrus, the right posterior part of the supramarginal gyrus, the right superior part of the lateral occipital cortex, and the right angular gyrus in the aMCI group. ConclusionOur results suggest the alterations in the visual network are present in aMCI patients, both during resting-state and task-based fMRI. These changes may represent early biomarkers of aMCI and highlight the importance of assessing visual processing in cognitive impairment. However, future studies with larger sample sizes and longitudinal designs are needed to confirm these findings.
