Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are common causes of cognitive decline among older adults and share strong epidemiological links. Distinct patterns of cortical atrophy are observed in AD and T2DM, but robust comparisons between structure-function relationships across these two disease states are lacking. To compare how atrophy within distributed brain networks is related to cognition across the spectrum of cognitive aging. The relationship between structural MRI changes and cognition was studied in 22 mild-to-moderate AD, 28 T2DM, and 27 healthy participants. Cortical thickness measurements were obtained from networks of interest (NOIs) matching the limbic, default, and frontoparietal resting-state networks. Composite cognitive scores capturing domains of global cognition, memory, and executive function were created. Associations between cognitive scores and the NOIs were assessed using linear regression, with age as a covariate. Within-network General Linear Model (GLM) analysis was run in Freesurfer 6.0 to visualize differences in patterns of cortical atrophy related to cognitive function in each group. A secondary analysis examined hemispheric differences in each group. Across all groups, cortical atrophy...Continue Reading
