AbstractWith an increasing prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in response to an aging population, it is critical to identify and understand neuroprotective mechanisms against cognitive decline. One potential mechanism is redundancy: the existence of duplicate elements within a system that provide alternative functionality in case of failure. As the hippocampus is one of the earliest sites affected by AD pathology, we hypothesized that functional hippocampal redundancy is protective against cognitive decline. We compared hippocampal functional redundancy derived from resting-state functional MRI networks in cognitively normal older adults, with individuals with early and late MCI, as well as the relationship between redundancy and cognition. Posterior hippocampal redundancy was reduced between cognitively normal and MCI groups, plateauing across early and late MCI. Higher hippocampal redundancy was related to better memory performance only for cognitively normal individuals. Critically, functional hippocampal redundancy did not come at the expense of network efficiency. Our results provide support that hippocampal redundancy protects against cognitive decline in aging.

The spatial-temporal relationships between gray and white matter (WM) degeneration during preclinical and early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease are poorly understood. We characterized β-amyloid deposition, cortical volume and WM degeneration in 44 subjects including healthy control (N=23), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) (N=19), and early Alzheimer's subjects (N=2). Integrated PET-MRI provided simultaneous measurement of 18F-Florbetapir uptake in cortical areas, regional brain volumes from structural MRI, and WM tract integrity metrics from diffusion MRI using biophysical modeling. Across the cohort of healthy control and aMCIs, cortical volumes correlated poorly with β-amyloid deposition in the same area (p < 0.05 only in the posterior cingulate and parietal lobe). WM degeneration correlated significantly with both amyloid and volume of connected cortical areas, but more strongly with volume. Diffusion MRI metrics for WM demyelination and/or axonal loss could therefore provide new biomarkers associated with clinical Alzheimer's conversion. These WM changes may represent sequential propagation of Alzheimer's neurodegeneration between functionally connected regions, and/or evidence of direct WM injury during the Alzheimer's pathology cascade.
