Research topic

I want to find studies on adult humans (ages 20-100+) that have used true longitudinal repeated measure designs to study variations in brain volume over several years, focusing on individuals who are relatively healthy and cognitively functional.

Report

The search identified several studies using true longitudinal repeated measure designs to analyze brain volume changes over multiple years in healthy, cognitively functional adults, with key findings from [1], [2], [3], and [4].

Details:

General Findings
- Study [1] monitored 653 adults with normal cognition over 10 years using annual MRI, showing region-specific brain volume trajectories and acceleration of volume reduction with older age.
- Study [2] followed 381 healthy adults over 6 years, using voxel-based morphometry to explore correlations between annual gray matter volume changes, age, and gender.
- Study [3] involved 231 healthy older adults, tracking cortical and subcortical volumetric changes over 4 years with FreeSurfer segmentation.
- Study [4] analyzed brain volumetric changes in 227 older adults aged 50-80 over several years, emphasizing differential rates of tissue loss in various brain regions.
Techniques and Regions of Interest
- All the studies predominantly used MRI and advanced volumetric analysis techniques (e.g., FreeSurfer, VBM) to measure brain volume changes.
- Key regions of consistent focus included the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and overall gray and white matter volumes.
Patterns of Change
- Non-linear age trajectories were observed, with acceleration of volume loss in older ages noted across multiple studies.
- Studies [1], [3], and [4] specifically highlighted cross-individual variability in brain volume changes, underscoring the importance of large cohort studies to account for this variability.
Confounding Factors
- Most studies controlled for confounding variables such as blood pressure, lifestyle factors, and cerebrovascular risk factors, reinforcing the focus on relatively healthy, cognitively functional adults.

Conclusions:

The literature search successfully identified comprehensive longitudinal studies that provide robust data on brain volume changes over several years in healthy adults. Key studies (e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4]) demonstrated consistent use of MRI and advanced neuroimaging techniques to reveal detailed patterns of brain aging, contributing valuable insights into non-linear trajectories and regional-specific volume changes.

[3] Decline Variability of Cortical and Subcortical Regions in Aging: A Longitudinal Study Silvano Sele, ..., and L. Jäncke Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2020 - 15 citations - Show abstract - Cite - PDF Abstract: Describing the trajectories of age-related change for different brain structures has been of interest in many recent studies. However, our knowledge regarding these trajectories and their associations is still limited due to small sample sizes and low numbers of repeated measures. For the present study, we used a large longitudinal dataset (four measurements over 4 years) comprising anatomical data from a sample of healthy older adults (N = 231 at baseline). This dataset enables us to gain new insights about volumetric cortical and subcortical changes and their associations in the context of healthy aging. Brain structure volumes were derived from T1-weighted MRI scans using FreeSurfer segmentation tools. Brain structure trajectories were fitted using mixed models and latent growth curve models to gain information about the mean extent and variability of decline trajectories for different brain structures as well as the associations between individual trajectories. On the group level, our analyses indicate similar linear changes for frontal and parietal brain regions, while medial temporal regions showed an accelerated decline with advancing age. Regarding subcortical regions, some structures showed strong declines (e.g., hippocampus), others showed little decline (e.g., pallidum). Our data provide little evidence for sex differences regarding the aforementioned trajectories. Between-person variability of the person-specific slopes (random slopes) was largest in subcortical and medial temporal brain structures. When looking at the associations between the random slopes from each brain structure, we found that the decline is largely homogenous across the majority of cortical brain structures. In subcortical and medial temporal brain structures, however, more heterogeneity of the decline was observed, meaning that the extent of the decline in one structure is less predictive of the decline in another structure. Taken together, our study contributes to enhancing our understanding of structural brain aging by demonstrating (1) that average volumetric change differs across the brain and (2) that there are regional differences with respect to between-person variability in the slopes. Moreover, our data suggest (3) that random slopes are highly correlated across large parts of the cerebral cortex but (4) that some brain regions (i.e., medial temporal regions) deviate from this homogeneity. 98.8% topic match

[18] Longitudinal Patterns of Brain Changes in a Community Sample in Relation to Aging and Cognitive Status. W. Chwa, ..., and C. Raji Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2023 - 2 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: BACKGROUND Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are characterized by widespread cortical and subcortical atrophy. Though atrophy patterns between aging and AD overlap considerably, regional differences between these two conditions may exist. Few studies, however, have investigated these patterns in large community samples. OBJECTIVE Elaborate longitudinal changes in brain morphometry in relation to aging and cognitive status in a well-characterized community cohort. METHODS Clinical and neuroimaging data were compiled from 72 participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study-Cognition Study, a community cohort of healthy aging and probable AD participants. Two time points were identified for each participant with a mean follow-up time of 5.36 years. MRI post-processing, morphometric measurements, and statistical analyses were performed using FreeSurfer, Version 7.1.1. RESULTS Cortical volume was significantly decreased in the bilateral superior frontal, bilateral inferior parietal, and left superior parietal regions, among others. Cortical thickness was significantly reduced in the bilateral superior frontal and left inferior parietal regions, among others. Overall gray and white matter volumes and hippocampal subfields also demonstrated significant reductions. Cortical volume atrophy trajectories between cognitively stable and cognitively declined participants were significantly different in the right postcentral region. CONCLUSION Observed volume reductions were consistent with previous studies investigating morphometric brain changes. Patterns of brain atrophy between AD and aging may be different in magnitude but exhibit widespread spatial overlap. These findings help characterize patterns of brain atrophy that may reflect the general population. Larger studies may more definitively establish population norms of aging and AD-related neuroimaging changes. 79.5% topic match

Yoshinao Miyahira, ..., and Yuko Takeda Seishin shinkeigaku zasshi = Psychiatria et neurologia Japonica 2004 - 14 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: PURPOSE To investigate the age-related changes in the brains of healthy elderly subjects, a volumetric MRI was performed using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and Region of Interest (ROI) methods. We determined the volumes of the whole brain, the gray matter, the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We examined 61 subjects (29 males and 32 females) aged 61 to 91 years (mean +/- SD = 72.4 +/- 7.85) who were residents of Okinawa prefecture, living at home and highly active as demonstrated by sustained participation in senior citizens clubs and/or group activities at senior citizen welfare centers. They had no history of psychiatric disorders, neurological or significant physical illness. They had Mini-Mental State Examination scores of 24 or above (mean +/- SD = 28.3 +/- 1.57), Japanese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale scores of 9 or below, and Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology scores of 11 or above. All subjects were dextral. This study received prior approval by the participating medical institution. Informed consent was obtained from the individual subjects. Volumetric MRI was performed using a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner (Magnetom Vision, Siemens). T1-weighted images were acquired in the coronal plane (perpendicular to anterior commissure-posterior commissure line) using a 3D-FLASH (fast low angle shot) sequence. Imaging parameters were: TR = 35 ms, TE = 5 ms, Flip angle = 45 deg., Field of View = 240 mm, Matrix 256 x 256, Pixel 0.9375 x 0.9375, Slice thickness 1.5 mm, Gapless. MR image data were analyzed by SPM using an imaging analysis software MEDx (Sensor Systems Inc.) running on UNIX workstation (Sun SPARC Solaris 7, Sun Microsystems, Inc.). Volumetry was performed by automatic segmentation technique using SPM for the whole brain and the gray matter, and manual tracing using ROI based quantitative methods for the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. Local volumes were normalized by the intracranial volume and the gray matter volume. Correlation to age was determined by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Volumetric MRI was performed under blinded conditions. RESULTS Volumetric MRI of normal brain in healthy elderly subjects showed age-related changes. The whole brain (r = -0.568, p < 0.01), the gray matter (r = -0.406, p < 0.01), the prefrontal cortex (r = -0.470, p < 0.01), the hippocampus (r = -0.305, p < 0.05), and the entorhinal cortex (r = -0.455, p < 0.01) volume significantly decreased with age. The age-related hippocampal volume reduction was similar to the gray matter reduction, but the age-related prefrontal cortex and entorhinal cortex volume reductions were greater than the gray matter volume reduction. The prefrontal cortex and the hippocampal volumes differed by sex, being greater in females (p < 0.05). The hippocampal volume was lateralized: right side was greater than the left (p < 0.01). The entorhinal cortex volume was lateralized so that the left side was greater than the right (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION As a result of volumetric MRI using SPM, age-related changes of normal brain in healthy elderly persons did not always show unified atrophy. The ratio of atrophy was different by a local area. Our findings suggested that the most marked age-related brain volume reductions were seen in the prefrontal cortex and the entorhinal cortex. The age-related hippocampal volume reduction was similar to the gray matter reduction. 30.9% topic match

[40] Novel Volumetric and Surface-Based Magnetic Resonance Indices of the Aging Brain – Does Male and Female Brain Age in the Same Way? P. Podgórski, ..., and A. Zimny Frontiers in Neurology 2021 - 18 citations - Show abstract - Cite - PDF Abstract: Introduction: Novel post-processing methods allow not only for assessment of brain volumetry or cortical thickness based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but also for more detailed analysis of cortical shape and complexity using parameters such as sulcal depth, gyrification index, or fractal dimension. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in brain volumetry and other cortical indices during aging in men and women. Material and Methods: Material consisted of 697 healthy volunteers (aged 38–80 years; M/F, 264/443) who underwent brain MRI using a 1.5-T scanner. Voxel-based volumetry of total gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was performed followed by assessment of cortical parameters [cortical thickness (CT), sulcal depth (SD), gyrification index (GI), and fractal dimension (FD)] in 150 atlas locations using surface-based morphometry with a region-based approach. All parameters were compared among seven age groups (grouped every 5 years) separately for men and women. Additionally, percentile curves for men and women were provided for total volumes of GM, WM, and CSF. Results: In men and women, a decrease in GM and WM volumes and an increase in CSF volume seem to progress slowly since the age of 45. In men, significant GM and WM loss as well as CSF increase start above 55 years of age, while in women, significant GM loss starts above 50 and significant WM loss as well as CSF increase above 60. CT was found to significantly decrease with aging in 39% of locations in women and in 36% of locations in men, SD was found to increase in 13.5% of locations in women and in 1.3% of locations in men, GI was decreased in 3.4% of locations in women and in 2.0% of locations in men, and FD was changed in 2.7% of locations in women compared to 2.0% in men. Conclusions: Male and female brains start aging at the similar age of 45. Compared to men, in women, the cortex is affected earlier and in the more complex pattern regarding not only cortical loss but also other alterations within the cortical shape, with relatively longer sparing of WM volume. 15.0% topic match

Cognitive function can be affected either negatively or positively. It is challenging to segregate normal brain aging from the accelerated one. Objective To work out a descriptive model of brain structural and functional changes in normal aging. Materials and Methods By using voxel-based morphometry and lesion segmentation along with linear statistics and machine learning (ML), we analyzed the structural changes in the major brain compartments and modeled the dynamics of neurofunctional performance throughout life. We studied sex differences in lifelong dynamics of brain volumetric data with Mann-Whitney U-test. We tested the hypothesis that performance in some cognitive domains might decline as a linear function of age while other domains might have a non-linear dependence on it. We compared the volumetric changes in the major brain compartments with the dynamics of psychophysiological performance in 4 age groups. Then, we tested linear models of structural and functional decline for significant differences between the slopes in age groups with the T-test. Results White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are not the major structural determinant of the brain normal aging. They should be viewed as signs of a disease. There is a sex difference in the speed and/or in the onset of the gray matter atrophy. It either starts earlier or goes faster in males. Marked sex difference in the proportion of total cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and intraventricular CSF (iCSF) justifies that elderly men are more prone to age-related brain atrophy than women of the same age. Conclusion The article gives an overview and description of the conceptual structural changes in the brain compartments. The obtained data justify distinct patterns of age-related changes in the cognitive functions. Cross-life slowing of decision-making may follow the linear tendency of enlargement of the interhemispheric fissure because the center of task switching and inhibitory control is allocated within the medial wall of the frontal cortex, and its atrophy accounts for the expansion of the fissure.

[47] Longitudinal indices of human cognition and brain structure E. Johnson and Kevin T. Jones Journal of Neuroscience Research 2021 - 0 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: Changes in human cognition, brain structure, and function occur with development and throughout aging. This change occurs across timescales of years, and scientific inquiry into these changes has inspired the neuroscientific fields of development, life span, and aging. Likewise, interventions that remediate or enhance cognitive performance can thwart or truncate the temporal progression by which change might naturally occur, and are drawing increasing interest from basic science, clinical, and commercial audiences alike. Understanding the neural basis of cognitive change is a primary goal of human neuroscience. Although crosssectional studies inform questions related to life span and intervention differences, only longitudinal studies which compare the same participants across multiple time points can mechanistically explain change. This In Focus issue brings together longitudinal research from developmental neuroscience and cognitive training in effort to gain insights into how changes occur in cognition and brain structure over timescales of weeks to years. There are unique challenges associated with longitudinal research. Logistical challenges include planning, sometimes years in advance, for potential problems related to participant retention and research implementation. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are resource consuming in terms of finances and manpower, often preventing earlyand midcareer researchers from pursuing ambitious, potentially paradigmshifting lines of research. Here, research involving human participants was brought to a standstill in March 2020 due to the unforeseen global COVID19 pandemic. Scientific researchers had to adjust plans for data collection and dissemination, rework project aims, reconsider what is feasible, and strive to balance professional and personal while working from home. Perhaps the least devastating outcome of the pandemic was the 50% dropout of planned contributions to this In Focus issue. With that in mind, below we showcase the three articles of this issue. We then conclude with a call for future research that takes a longitudinal approach across multiple intersecting fields of inquiry to bring us closer to understanding the neural basis of cognitive change. A core challenge in longitudinal research is the development and use of measures with robust test– retest reliability (Ofen et al., 2019). If a measure does not show stable outcomes in the same participant across multiple points close in time, without intervention, then it cannot reliably measure stability or change. Homayouni et al. (2021) tackled this core challenge by validating a measure of brain structure, specifically, hippocampal subfield volumes using structural MRI. The hippocampus is critical to declarative memory, and crosssectional life span differences in hippocampal subfields have been linked to life span differences in declarative memory performance (Daugherty et al., 2017). In this study, hippocampal subfields were measured in the same pediatric participants, aged 7– 20 years, at baseline and both 1month and 2year delays (Figure 1a). The reliability of the measure was demonstrated by means of structural stability over 1 month and change over 2 years, replicated in two independent samples. These results further demonstrate the utility of the measure as sensitive enough to detect longitudinal changes in brain structure over an expected maturational timescale of 2 years. Interventions that aim to remediate or enhance cognitive performance, if successful, can thwart or truncate life span timescales of change, or simply enhance performance. The other studies in this issue tackled questions related to cognitive trainingbased intervention, a field that is plagued with unreliable outcomes (Boot & Kramer, 2014; Hampshire et al., 2019; Kable et al., 2017; Owen et al., 2010; Sala & Edited by Cristina Ghiani and Junie Warrington. 10.4% topic match

[48] Cortical thinning in cognitively normal elderly cohort of 60 to 89 year old from AIBL database and vulnerable brain areas Zhongmin S. Lin, ..., and Kathryn M. McMillan https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2043101 2014 - 2 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: Age-related cortical thinning has been studied by many researchers using quantitative MR images for the past three decades and vastly differing results have been reported. Although results have shown age-related cortical thickening in elderly cohort statistically in some brain regions under certain conditions, cortical thinning in elderly cohort requires further systematic investigation. This paper leverages our previously reported brain surface intensity model (BSIM)1 based technique to measure cortical thickness to study cortical changes due to normal aging. We measured cortical thickness of cognitively normal persons from 60 to 89 years old using Australian Imaging Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study (AIBL) data. MRI brains of 56 healthy people including 29 women and 27 men were selected. We measured average cortical thickness of each individual in eight brain regions: parietal, frontal, temporal, occipital, visual, sensory motor, medial frontal and medial parietal. Unlike the previous published studies, our results showed consistent age-related thinning of cerebral cortex in all brain regions. The parietal, medial frontal and medial parietal showed fastest thinning rates of 0.14, 0.12 and 0.10 mm/decade respectively while the visual region showed the slowest thinning rate of 0.05 mm/decade. In sensorimotor and parietal areas, women showed higher thinning (0.09 and 0.16 mm/decade) than men while in all other regions men showed higher thinning than women. We also created high resolution cortical thinning rate maps of the cohort and compared them to typical patterns of PET metabolic reduction of moderate AD and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The results seemed to indicate vulnerable areas of cortical deterioration that may lead to brain dementia. These results validate our cortical thickness measurement technique by demonstrating the consistency of the cortical thinning and prediction of cortical deterioration trend with AIBL database. 10.1% topic match

Dennis, ..., and Xin Wang https://doi.org/10.1118/1.3611686 2011 - 0 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: Purpose: Group studies have demonstrated thinning of the brain cortex over decades as we age, but thickness is generally considered constant over shorter periods of time. This study evaluates the constancy and measurable variations in cortical thickness over time periods of minutes, weeks, months and years in individuals.Methods: Eight healthy adults (2 female, 6 male, 24–60 yrs) received back‐to‐back scans on 8 to 12 occasions. Each data acquisition consisted of 160 high resolution IR‐SPGR MRIimages yielding a 1×1×1mm resolution. Freesurfer software (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) was used to analyze this data, producing tens of thousands of thickness measurements and providing automatic segmentation of the cortical regions. Differences in back‐to‐back scans were used as an estimate of measurement error. Each scan was considered a valid measure, and all combinations of scans were compared and evaluated as time periods of weeks, months and years. Confidence intervals at the 95% level were established based on the estimated error. Results: Within each individual there were regions demonstrating 95% of the measured differences to be within the confidence interval, demonstrating anatomical stability and consistency in measurements. Other areas in each individual, however, showed significantly increased variation with greater than 15% of the measured differences outside of the confidence interval. These variations were specific to individuals, with different profiles of areas and intervals of stability and of variance Conclusions: This work expands on prior group analysis to the longitudinal measurement of cortical changes within normal individuals without intervention. Understanding the dynamics of cortical thickness measures is critical if such measurements are to be used as biomarkers of physiologically significant cortical changes. Cortical areas reconsolidate in individually specific and reversible ways during week, month, and longer periods of life. 8.4% topic match

[57] Comparison of different MRI brain atrophy rate measures with clinical disease progression in AD C. Jack, ..., and R. Petersen Neurology 2004 - 817 citations - Show abstract - Cite - PDF Abstract: Objective: To correlate different methods of measuring rates of brain atrophy from serial MRI with corresponding clinical change in normal elderly subjects, patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and patients with probable Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: One hundred sixty subjects were recruited from the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and Alzheimer’s Disease Patient Registry Studies. At baseline, 55 subjects were cognitively normal, 41 met criteria for MCI, and 64 met criteria for AD. Each subject underwent an MRI examination of the brain at the time of the baseline clinical assessment and then again at the time of a follow-up clinical assessment, 1 to 5 years later. The annualized changes in volume of four structures were measured from the serial MRI studies: hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, whole brain, and ventricle. Rates of change on several cognitive tests/rating scales were also assessed. Subjects who were classified as normal or MCI at baseline could either remain stable or convert to a lower-functioning group. AD subjects were dichotomized into slow vs fast progressors. Results: All four atrophy rates were greater among normal subjects who converted to MCI or AD than among those who remained stable, greater among MCI subjects who converted to AD than among those who remained stable, and greater among fast than slow AD progressors. In general, atrophy on MRI was detected more consistently than decline on specific cognitive tests/rating scales. With one exception, no differences were found among the four MRI rate measures in the strength of the correlation with clinical deterioration at different stages of the disease. Conclusions: These data support the use of rates of change from serial MRI studies in addition to standard clinical/psychometric measures as surrogate markers of disease progression in AD. Estimated sample sizes required to power a therapeutic trial in MCI were an order of magnitude less for MRI than for change measures based on cognitive tests/rating scales. 7.7% topic match

[79] Development of the Cerebral Cortex across Adolescence: A Multisample Study of Inter-Related Longitudinal Changes in Cortical Volume, Surface Area, and Thickness C. K. Tamnes, ..., and K. Mills The Journal of Neuroscience 2017 - 489 citations - Show abstract - Cite - PDF Abstract: Before we can assess and interpret how developmental changes in human brain structure relate to cognition, affect, and motivation, and how these processes are perturbed in clinical or at-risk populations, we must first precisely understand typical brain development and how changes in different structural components relate to each other. We conducted a multisample magnetic resonance imaging study to investigate the development of cortical volume, surface area, and thickness, as well as their inter-relationships, from late childhood to early adulthood (7–29 years) using four separate longitudinal samples including 388 participants and 854 total scans. These independent datasets were processed and quality-controlled using the same methods, but analyzed separately to study the replicability of the results across sample and image-acquisition characteristics. The results consistently showed widespread and regionally variable nonlinear decreases in cortical volume and thickness and comparably smaller steady decreases in surface area. Further, the dominant contributor to cortical volume reductions during adolescence was thinning. Finally, complex regional and topological patterns of associations between changes in surface area and thickness were observed. Positive relationships were seen in sulcal regions in prefrontal and temporal cortices, while negative relationships were seen mainly in gyral regions in more posterior cortices. Collectively, these results help resolve previous inconsistencies regarding the structural development of the cerebral cortex from childhood to adulthood, and provide novel insight into how changes in the different dimensions of the cortex in this period of life are inter-related. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Different measures of brain anatomy develop differently across adolescence. Their precise trajectories and how they relate to each other throughout development are important to know if we are to fully understand both typical development and disorders involving aberrant brain development. However, our understanding of such trajectories and relationships is still incomplete. To provide accurate characterizations of how different measures of cortical structure develop, we performed an MRI investigation across four independent datasets. The most profound anatomical change in the cortex during adolescence was thinning, with the largest decreases observed in the parietal lobe. There were complex regional patterns of associations between changes in surface area and thickness, with positive relationships seen in sulcal regions in prefrontal and temporal cortices, and negative relationships seen mainly in gyral regions in more posterior cortices. 0.0% topic match

[85] CHAPTER 5 Amyloid-independent atrophy patterns predict time to progression to dementia in MCI M. T. Kate, ..., and W. V. D. Flier Journal Not Provided 2018 - 0 citations - Show abstract - Cite Abstract: Introduction: Amyloid pathology in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an important risk factor for progression to dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. Predicting the onset of dementia is challenging even in the presence of amyloid, as time to progression varies considerably among patients and depends on the onset of neurodegeneration. Survival analysis can account for variability in time to event, but has not often been applied to MRI measurements beyond singular predefined brain regions such as the hippocampus. Here we used a voxel-wise survival analysis to identify in an unbiased fashion brain regions where decreased grey matter volume is associated with time to dementia, and assessed the effects of amyloid on these associations. Methods: We included 276 subjects with MCI (mean age 67 ± 8, 41% female, mean MMSE 26.6 ± 2.4), baseline 3D T1-weighted structural MRI, baseline cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and prospective clinical follow-up. We fitted for each voxel a proportional Cox hazards regression model to study whether decreased grey matter volume predicted progression to dementia in the total sample, and stratified for baseline amyloid status. Results: Dementia at follow-up occurred in 122 (44%) subjects over an average followup period of 2.5 ± 1.5 years. Baseline amyloid positivity was associated with progression to dementia (HR 2.4, p < 0.001). Within amyloid positive subjects, decreased grey matter volume in hippocampal, temporal, parietal, and frontal regions was associated with more rapid progression to dementia (median [IQR] HR across significant voxels: 1.35 [1.32 1.40]). Repeating the analysis in amyloid negative subjects revealed similar patterns (median [IQR] HR: 1.76 [1.66 1.91]). Conclusions: In subjects with MCI, both abnormal amyloid CSF and decreased grey matter volume were associated with future progression to dementia. The spatial pattern of decreased grey matter volume associated with progression to dementia was consistent for amyloid positive and amyloid negative subjects. m.tenkate-layout.indd 170 26/07/2018 17:32 171 Regional atrophy and clinical progression in MCI 0.0% topic match

[87] Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using cortical thickness: impact of cognitive reserve O. Querbes, ..., and P. Celsis Brain 2009 - 421 citations - Show abstract - Cite - PDF Abstract: Brain atrophy measured by magnetic resonance structural imaging has been proposed as a surrogate marker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Studies on large samples are still required to determine its practical interest at the individual level, especially with regards to the capacity of anatomical magnetic resonance imaging to disentangle the confounding role of the cognitive reserve in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. One hundred and thirty healthy controls, 122 subjects with mild cognitive impairment of the amnestic type and 130 Alzheimer's disease patients were included from the ADNI database and followed up for 24 months. After 24 months, 72 amnestic mild cognitive impairment had converted to Alzheimer's disease (referred to as progressive mild cognitive impairment, as opposed to stable mild cognitive impairment). For each subject, cortical thickness was measured on the baseline magnetic resonance imaging volume. The resulting cortical thickness map was parcellated into 22 regions and a normalized thickness index was computed using the subset of regions (right medial temporal, left lateral temporal, right posterior cingulate) that optimally distinguished stable mild cognitive impairment from progressive mild cognitive impairment. We tested the ability of baseline normalized thickness index to predict evolution from amnestic mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease and compared it to the predictive values of the main cognitive scores at baseline. In addition, we studied the relationship between the normalized thickness index, the education level and the timeline of conversion to Alzheimer's disease. Normalized thickness index at baseline differed significantly among all the four diagnosis groups (P < 0.001) and correctly distinguished Alzheimer's disease patients from healthy controls with an 85% cross-validated accuracy. Normalized thickness index also correctly predicted evolution to Alzheimer's disease for 76% of amnestic mild cognitive impairment subjects after cross-validation, thus showing an advantage over cognitive scores (range 63–72%). Moreover, progressive mild cognitive impairment subjects, who converted later than 1 year after baseline, showed a significantly higher education level than those who converted earlier than 1 year after baseline. Using a normalized thickness index-based criterion may help with early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease at the individual level, especially for highly educated subjects, up to 24 months before clinical criteria for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis are met. 0.0% topic match

Despite the great development in the longitudinal study of decline in brain volume and cognitive abilities, previous studies are limited by their small number of data collection waves and inadequate adjustments for important factors (such as a genetic factor). These limitations diminish the power to detect changes in brain tissues and cognitive abilities over a longer period of time. In this study, firstly, we aimed to explore the longitudinal association between cognitive abilities and global and regional structural brain variables among individuals with normal cognitive status, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD using mixed effects models. Secondly, we investigated the effect of education on the relationship between cognition and brain structure. Lastly, we utilized latent class growth analysis in order to study the change in cognition between different MCI sub-classes based on their functional abilities. The data in this study were obtained from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)which contained 6 time points over three years (n=686). The results showed that cognitive abilities decreased over time across different groups, and the rate of decline in cognition depended on the whole brain volume. Importantly, the effect of brain volume on the rate of decline in cognitive abilities was greater among MCI subjects who progressed to AD (pMCI) and participants with AD. Ventricle enlargement in the pMCI group also showed a significant influence on the rate of cognitive decline .Lastly, based on an assessment of functional abilities at baseline, this study demonstrated an efficient methodology to identify MCI subjects who are most at-risk for cognitive impairment progression. 0.0% topic match
