Grey matter network trajectories across the Alzheimer's disease continuum and relation to cognition.

ABSTRACT: Biomarkers are needed to monitor disease progression in Alzheimer's disease. Grey matter network measures have such potential, as they are related to amyloid aggregation in cognitively unimpaired individuals and to future cognitive decline in predementia Alzheimer's disease. Here, we investigated how grey matter network measures evolve over time within individuals across the entire Alzheimer's disease cognitive continuum and whether such changes relate to concurrent decline in cognition. We included 190 cognitively unimpaired, amyloid normal (controls) and 523 individuals with abnormal amyloid across the cognitive continuum (preclinical, prodromal, Alzheimer's disease dementia) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and calculated single-subject grey matter network measures (
