Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

1.8K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

1.1K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Functional MRI (fMRI) measures brain activity via blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals.
  • fMRI-derived features aid in understanding neurological and psychiatric disorders.
  • High-order functional brain relations are complex and require advanced modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model high-order functional brain relations using hypergraphs.
  • To introduce algebraic connectivity (a(G)) for estimating hyperedge weights.
  • To assess the potential of a(G) in classifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients.

Main Methods:

  • Employed hypergraphs to model functional brain connectivity.
  • Derived hypergraph structure from healthy controls to establish a common topology.
  • Utilized algebraic connectivity (a(G)) to estimate hyperedge weights.
  • Performed statistical analyses and binary classifications (HC vs AD, MCI vs AD, HC vs MCI).
  • Conducted mediation analysis linking a(G) values, tau-PET levels, and cognitive scores.

Main Results:

  • Identified a greater number of statistically significant hyperedges across groups compared to existing methods.
  • Demonstrated superior discriminative power of a(G) hyperedge weights in all classifications.
  • Found partial mediation effects of two hyperedges (salience/ventral attention, somatomotor networks) between tau biomarker and cognitive decline.

Conclusions:

  • Algebraic connectivity (a(G)) is an effective method for extracting hyperedge weights from functional brain data.
  • a(G) captures significant functional information relevant to brain disorders like AD.
  • This approach enhances the understanding of brain network alterations in the AD continuum.
