Identifying the neurostimulation target for treatment of cognitive impairment in aging and early cerebral small vessel disease

OBJECTIVE: To develop individualized approaches to the use of neuromodulation as a non-pharmacological treatment of cognitive impairment (CI) based on the assessment of compensatory brain reserves in functional MRI (fMRI).

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-one adults over 45 years of age, representing a continuum from healthy norm to mild cognitive impairment due to aging and early cerebral small vessel disease, were studied. All participants underwent fMRI while performing two executive tasks - a modified Stroop task and selective counting. To assess the ability to compensate for CI in real life, functional activation and connectivity were analyzed using the BRIEF-MoCA score as a covariate, which is the difference in ratings between the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA).

RESULTS: Both fMRI tasks were associated with activation of areas of the frontoparietal control network, as well as supplementary motor area (SMA) and the pre-SMA, the lateral premotor cortex, and the cerebellum. An increase in pre- SMA connectivity was observed during the tasks. The BRIEF-MoCA score correlated firstly with connectivity of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and secondly with involvement of the occipital cortex during the counting task.

CONCLUSIONS: The developed technique allows identification of the functionally relevant target within the left DLPFC in patients with CI in aging and early cerebral microangiopathy.
