All subjects (n = 58) were divided into two groups based on their clinical diagnosis: a LA-associated SVCI group (n = 31, 14 males) and a control group (n = 27, 14 males). Demographic information and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data were obtained. These subjects were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Depression Scale, Clinical Dementia Rating, Mini Mental State Exam, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Experimental data and confounding factors were described with a General Liner Model. Independent components of fMRI data were analyzed with an fMRI toolbox.
The present study provides neuroimaging evidence for the recognition of LA-associated SVCI. Moreover, the differences in the functional alterations of the resting-state DMN might be a distinguishing featurebetween SVCI and amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients.
