abstract = {The effect of cognitive intervention on brain metabolism in
AD is largely unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to investigate
cognitive parameters and 18FDG PET to test for effects of a
cognitive intervention in patients with aMCI or mild AD.
Patients with aMCI (N = 24) or mild AD (N = 15) were
randomly assigned either to cognitive intervention groups
(IGs), receiving weekly sessions of group-based
multicomponent cognitive intervention, or active control
groups (CGs), receiving pencil-paper exercises for
self-study. We obtained resting-state FDG-PET scans and
neuropsychological testing at baseline and after six-months.
Normalized FDG-PET images were analyzed using voxel-based
SPM5 approaches to determine longitudinal changes,
group-by-time interactions and correlations with
neuropsychological outcome parameters. Primary global
cognitive outcome was determined by analyses of covariance
with MMSE and ADAS-cog scores as dependent measures. Both,
aMCI and AD subgroups of CGs showed widespread bilateral
cortical declines in FDG uptake, while the AD subgroup of
IGs showed discrete decline or rather no decline in case of
the aMCI subgroup. Group by time analyses revealed strongest
attenuation of metabolic decline in the aMCI subgroup of the
IGs, involving left anterior temporal pole and anterior
cingulate gyrus. However, correlation analyses revealed only
weak non-significant associations between increased FDG
uptake and improvement in primary or secondary outcome
parameters. Concurrently, there was significant improvement
in global cognitive status in the aMCI subgroup of the IGs.
A six-month cognitive intervention imparted cognitive
benefits in patients with aMCI, which were concurrent with
an attenuated decline of glucose metabolism in cortical
regions affected by neurodegenerative AD.},
