abstract = {A prominent finding of postmortem and molecular imaging
studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of
neuropathological proteins in brain regions of the default
mode network (DMN). Molecular models suggest that the
progression of disease proteins depends on the
directionality of signaling pathways. At network level,
effective connectivity (EC) reflects directionality of
signaling pathways. We hypothesized a specific pattern of EC
in the DMN of patients with AD, related to cognitive
impairment. Metabolic connectivity mapping is a novel
measure of EC identifying regions of signaling input based
on neuroenergetics. We simultaneously acquired resting-state
functional MRI and FDG-PET data from patients with early AD
(n = 35) and healthy subjects (n = 18) on an integrated
PET/MR scanner. We identified two distinct subnetworks of EC
in the DMN of healthy subjects: an anterior part with
bidirectional EC between hippocampus and medial prefrontal
cortex and a posterior part with predominant input into
medial parietal cortex. Patients had reduced input into the
medial parietal system and absent input from hippocampus
into medial prefrontal cortex (p < 0.05, corrected). In a
multiple linear regression with unimodal imaging and EC
measures (F4,25 = 5.63, p = 0.002, r2 = 0.47), we found that
EC (β = 0.45, p = 0.012) was stronger associated with
cognitive deficits in patients than any of the PET and fMRI
measures alone. Our approach indicates specific disruptions
of EC in the DMN of patients with AD and might be suitable
to test molecular theories about downstream and upstream
spreading of neuropathology in AD.},
