- Abstract
Objective: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by cognitive impairment on neurocognitive tests but accompanied by relatively intact daily activities. Due to high variation and no objective methods for diagnosing and treating MCI, guidance on neuroimaging is needed. The study has explored the neuroimaging biomarkers using the support vector machine (SVM) method to predict MCI. Methods: In total, 53 patients with MCI and 68 healthy controls were involved in scanning resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Neurocognitive testing and Structured Clinical Interview, such as Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) test, Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Scale, Hachinski Ischemic Score (HIS), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), were utilized to assess participants' cognitive state. Neuroimaging data were analyzed with the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and SVM methods. Results: Compared with healthy comparisons (HCs), ReHo of patients with MCI was decreased in the right caudate. In addition, the SVM classification achieved an overall accuracy of 68.6%, sensitivity of 62.26%, and specificity of 58.82%. Conclusion: The results suggest that abnormal neural activity in the right cerebrum may play a vital role in the pathophysiological process of MCI. Moreover, the ReHo in the right caudate may serve as a neuroimaging biomarker for MCI, which can provide objective guidance on diagnosing and managing MCI in the future.
