Abstract
White matter disconnection is the primary cause of cognition and affection abnormality in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Adequate understanding of behavioral disturbances, such as cognition and affection abnormality in MCI, can help to intervene and slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) promptly. Diffusion MRI is a non-invasive and effective technique for studying white matter microstructure. This review searched the relevant papers published from 2010 to 2022. Sixty-nine studies using diffusion MRI for white matter disconnections associated with behavioral disturbances in MCI were screened. Fibers connected to the hippocampus and temporal lobe were associated with cognition decline in MCI. Fibers connected to the thalamus were associated with both cognition and affection abnormality. This review summarized the correspondence between white matter disconnections and behavioral disturbances such as cognition and affection, which provides a theoretical basis for the future diagnosis and treatment of AD.
