Background:

Cognitive reserve (CR) explains individual differences in cognitive impairment due to aging or pathology.
Quantifying CR aids in understanding susceptibility to cognitive decline.
Existing methods for CR assessment may have limitations in generalizability and application across diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a deep learning model for quantifying cognitive reserve (CR) using structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI).
To assess the generalizability of the sMRI-based deep learning model across healthy and Alzheimer's disease cohorts using transfer learning.
To explore the correlation between estimated CR and established proxies like education and IQ.

Main Methods:

Developed a deep learning model (Cascade Neural Network - CNN) to predict memory performance from sMRI data (cortical thickness and volume) in a healthy cohort (RANN).
Quantified CR as the residual variance between actual and predicted memory performance.
Applied transfer learning to generalize the model to independent healthy (HCPA) and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohorts, accounting for different scanner types.

Main Results:

The CNN model trained on RANN data showed strong correlations between true and predicted memory.
The transfer learning approach successfully generalized the CR estimation model to independent HCPA and ADNI datasets.
Estimated CR positively correlated with education and IQ across all three cohorts, validating the model's estimates.

Conclusions:

Deep learning combined with transfer learning provides an effective and generalizable method for estimating cognitive reserve from sMRI.
This approach is applicable to diverse populations, including healthy individuals and those with Alzheimer's disease.
The framework holds promise for broader scientific and clinical applications, potentially integrating other imaging modalities.
