Abstract:
BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between multi-metric resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) changes and cognitive performance in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), moving beyond single-metric analyses.MethodsForty aMCI patients and twenty healthy controls underwent 3.0T rs-fMRI and neurocognitive assessment (MoCA, DST). Multiple rs-fMRI metrics (ReHo, ALFF/fALFF, RSFC) were analyzed for their association with cognition.ResultsaMCI patients showed increased frontal ReHo, decreased ALFF in default mode network hubs, and reduced prefrontal-parietal-temporal RSFC. Frontal hyper-synchronization correlated negatively with cognitive scores, while DMN ALFF correlated positively.ConclusionsMulti-metric fMRI detects characteristic functional alterations in aMCI, indicating regional brain damage or compensatory changes linked to cognitive performance.
