abstract = {In a previous study, regional reductions in cerebral
glucose metabolism have been demonstrated in the tauopathy
mouse model rTg4510 (Endepols et al., 2022). Notably,
glucose hypometabolism was present in some brain regions
without co-localized synaptic degeneration measured with
[18F]UCB-H. We hypothesized that in those regions
hypometabolism may reflect reduced functional connectivity
rather than synaptic damage. To test this hypothesis, we
performed seed-based metabolic connectivity analyses using
[18F]FDG-PET data in this mouse model. Eight rTg4510 mice at
the age of seven months and 8 non-transgenic littermates
were injected intraperitoneally with 11.1 ± 0.8 MBq
[18F]FDG and spent a 35-min uptake period awake in single
cages. Subsequently, they were anesthetized and measured in
a small animal PET scanner for 30 min. Three seed-based
connectivity analyses were performed per group. Seeds were
selected for apparent mismatch between [18F]FDG and
[18F]UCB-H. A seed was placed either in the medial
orbitofrontal cortex, dorsal hippocampus or dorsal thalamus,
and correlated with all other voxels of the brain across
animals. In the control group, the emerging correlative
pattern was strongly overlapping for all three seed
locations, indicating a uniform fronto-thalamo-hippocampal
resting state network. In contrast, rTg4510 mice showed
three distinct networks with minimal overlap. Frontal and
thalamic networks were greatly diminished. The hippocampus,
however, formed a new network with the whole parietal
cortex. We conclude that resting-state functional networks
are fragmented in the brain of rTg4510 mice. Thus,
hypometabolism can be explained by reduced functional
connectivity of brain areas devoid of tau-related pathology,
such as the thalamus.},
