aMCI and mdMCI. MCI cohort exhibited decreased PET Z-scores (all p < 0.001) in PCC, MPC, PAC, and TAC relative to the normal database; visual cortex (control) Z-scores did not differ between groups. MPC Z-scores differed among MCI subtypes (p 1⁄4 0.006), with aMCI (p < 0.05) and mdMCI (p < 0.05) exhibiting lower Z-scores than naMCI; however, MPC Z-scores did not differ between aMCI and mdMCI. Conclusions: Fornix integrity and medial parietal cortical glucose metabolism, as measured by neuroimaging, can differentiate amnestic from non-amnestic subtypes of MCI.
