abstract = {Dementia as one of the most prevalent diseases urges for a
better understanding of the central mechanisms responsible
for clinical symptoms, and necessitates improvement of
actual diagnostic capabilities. The brainstem nucleus locus
coeruleus (LC) is a promising target for early diagnosis
because of its early structural alterations and its
relationship to the functional disturbances in the patients.
In this study, we applied our improved method of
localisation-based LC resting-state fMRI to investigate the
differences in central sensory signal processing when
comparing functional connectivity (fc) of a patient group
with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 28) and an
age-matched healthy control group (n = 29). MCI and control
participants could be differentiated in their
Mini-Mental-State-Examination (MMSE) scores (p < .001) and
LC intensity ratio (p = .010). In the fMRI, LC fc to
anterior cingulate cortex (FDR p < .001) and left anterior
insula (FDR p = .012) was elevated, and LC fc to right
temporoparietal junction (rTPJ, FDR p = .012) and posterior
cingulate cortex (PCC, FDR p = .021) was decreased in the
patient group. Importantly, LC to rTPJ connectivity was also
positively correlated to MMSE scores in MCI patients (p =
.017). Furthermore, we found a hyperactivation of the
left-insula salience network in the MCI patients. Our
results and our proposed disease model shed new light on the
functional pathogenesis of MCI by directing to attentional
network disturbances, which could aid new therapeutic
strategies and provide a marker for diagnosis and prediction
of disease progression.},
