Two main clinical subtypes of amnestic MCI has been
described, single-domain and multiple-domain aMCI In the
present study we examined the Corpus Callosum (CC) by
applying DTI-based tractography in SDamci and MDamci.
Using a vixel-based approach, we were able to delineate
a precise direction of WM damage inside the CC, starting
from the Splenium in SDamci and proceeding toward the
Genu in the MDamci, and eventually declining in a
general CC WM damage in the final AD stage. These
findings clarify some relevant aspects of AD
pathophysiology and provide information of potential
prognostic value for disease monitoring.
