Objective: The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) has been implicate in many higher cognitive processes, as visuo-motor transformations, tool use or tool making. In subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at major risk to develop Alzheimer' Disease (AD) an impairment of subtle visuomotor or praxic abilities is a well-known clinical feature. Enhance of the ratio of EEG alpha3/alpha2 frequency power was detected in subjects with MCI who will transform in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: We explored of the association of alpha3/alpha2 power ratio with cortical size of IPL in patients with MCI. 74 subjects with MCI undergone EEG recording and MRI scans. Alpha3/alpha2 power ratio in addition to cortical size had been computed for each patient. Three MCI groups had been acquired in keeping with growing tertile values of alpha3/alpha2 ratio. Huge difference of cortical thickness among the groups was calculated. Higher alpha3/alpha2 power ratio group had broader cortical loss compared to other teams on the IPL, particularly in the Supramarginal Gyrus, and Precuneus on both hemispheres. Results: Our results unveil the possible part that the IPL could play in determining the classic alterations of early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Conclusion: Finally, the rise of alpha3/alpha2 power ratio detected a focused anatomo-functional association that could be a reliable marker of incipient AD.

AbstractWhile it is well known that picture naming (PN) is impaired in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), sound naming (SN) has not been thoroughly investigated. We postulated that SN might be impaired more severely and earlier than PN, given the early involvement of the temporal cortex by AD-related pathology. SN and PN were assessed in 21 normal participants, 40 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 27 patients in early stages of AD. Our results showed that SN accuracy and latency were more sensitive to advancing pathology in AD than PN accuracy and latency. SN was more useful and specific in distinguishing MCI patients from normal participants and therefore in potentially identifying the subset of MCI patients who already have impairment in more than one cognitive domain and may actually have incipient AD. These findings indicate a potential diagnostic utility of SN for early detection of the disease. Furthermore, even though most AD patients demonstrated more or less comparable impairment in both tasks, some were disproportionately impaired on SN and others were differentially impaired on PN. Future studies may be able to show that these discrepant groups correspond to patients with right and left hemisphere predominant AD, respectively. (JINS, 2009, 15, 231–238.)
