摘 要:Background:Individuals with subjective memory complaints(SMC)feature a higher risk of cognitive decline and clinical progression of Alzheimer’s disease(AD).However,the pathological mechanism underlying SMC remains *** aimed to assess the intrinsic connectivity network and its relationship with AD-related pathologies in SMC ***:We included 44 SMC individuals and 40 normal controls who underwent both resting-state functional MRI and positron emission tomography(PET).Based on graph theory approaches,we detected local and global functional connectivity across the whole brain by using degree centrality(DC)and eigenvector centrality(EC)***,we analyzed amyloid deposition and tauopathy via florbetapir-PET imaging and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)*** voxel-wise two-sample T-test analysis was used to examine between-group differences in the intrinsic functional network and cerebral amyloid ***,we correlated these network metrics with pathological ***:The SMC individuals showed higher DC in the bilateral hippocampus(HP)and left fusiform gyrus and lower DC in the inferior parietal region than *** all subjects,the DC of the bilateral HP and left fusiform gyrus was positively associated with total tau and phosphorylated ***,no significant between-group difference existed in EC and cerebral amyloid ***:We found impaired local,but not global,intrinsic connectivity networks in SMC *** the relationships between DC value and tau level,we hypothesized that functional changes in SMC individuals might relate to pathological biomarkers.
