摘要

The objective of our study was to evaluate whether cognitively normal (CN) elderly participants showing elevated cortical beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition have a consistent neuroanatomical signature of brain atrophy that may characterize preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). 115 CN participants who were Aβ-positive (CN+) by amyloid PET imaging; 115 CN participants who were Aβ-negative (CN?); and 88 Aβ-positive mild cognitive impairment or AD participants (MCI/AD+) were identified. Cortical thickness (FreeSurfer) and gray matter volume (SPM5) were measured for 28 regions-of-interest (ROIs) across the brain and compared across groups. ROIs that best discriminated CN? from CN+ differed for FreeSurfer cortical thickness and SPM5 gray matter volume. Group-wise discrimination was poor with a high degree of uncertainty in terms of the rank ordering of ROIs. In contrast, both techniques showed strong and consistent findings comparing MCI/AD+ to both CN? and CN+ groups, with entorhinal cortex, middle and inferior temporal lobe, inferior parietal lobe, and hippocampus providing the best discrimination for both techniques. Concordance across techniques was higher for the CN? and CN+ versus MCI/AD+ comparisons, compared to the CN? versus CN+ comparison. The weak and inconsistent nature of the findings across technique in this study cast doubt on the existence of a reliable neuroanatomical signature of preclinical AD in elderly PiB-positive CN participants. Highlights ? We measured atrophy in cognitively normal subjects with amyloid deposition (CN+). ? Findings in CN+ subjects were weak and disconcordant across Freesurfer and SPM5. ? Concordance across techniques was higher when assessing Alzheimer disease subjects. ? Evidence for a neuroanatomical signature of preclinical AD in CN+ subjects is weak.

CN +的FreeSurfer皮质厚度和SPM5灰质体积有所不同。就ROI的等级排序而言,基于组的区分很差,不确定性很高。相反,将MCI / AD +与两种CN?相比,两种技术均显示出了强大而一致的发现。和CN +组,其内嗅皮层,颞中叶和下颞叶,顶叶下叶和海马为这两种技术提供了最佳区分。 CN的跨技术一致性更高?以及CN +与MCI / AD +的比较,以及CN?与CN +比较。在这项研究中,跨技术发现的弱和不一致的性质使人们怀疑PiB阳性CN老年参与者临床前AD是否存在可靠的神经解剖学特征。强调 ?我们在淀粉样蛋白沉积(CN +)的认知正常受试者中测量了萎缩。 ?在Freesurfer和SPM5中,CN +主题的发现薄弱且不一致。 ?评估阿尔茨海默病受试者时,各种技术的一致性更高。 ?在CN +受试者中临床前AD的神经解剖学特征的证据很少。
