Abnormal Alterations of Cortical Thickness in 16 Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Pilot MRI Study△

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the cerebral cortical thickness changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a whole brain cortical thickness mapping system based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods High resolution three-dimensional T1-weighted fast spoiled gradient recalled echo MR images were obtained from 16 patients with T2DM, as well as from 16 normal controls. The whole brain cortical thickness maps were generated, and the cortical thickness of each brain region was ca… Show more

“…Consistently, we only observed regional cortical thinning in T2D. These results are in accordance with previous studies of brain atrophy using VBM (Moran et al, 2013;Moulton et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2014) and cortical thickness (Brundel et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2015Chen et al, , 2017Li et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2019) analysis in diabetic populations. In our study, decreased regional GM volumes appeared in several regions in type 2 diabetes patients, mainly in the frontal lobe, as in Moran et al (2013), Moulton et al (2015) and Roy et al (2020), and sub-lobar cortex.…”

“…Decrements in cortical thickness were also already demonstrated with surface-based morphometry (SBM) studies in type 2 diabetes patients (Chen et al, 2017;Moran et al, 2019). Conceptually, the volume of GM and the cortical thickness seem to be influenced by environmental factors related with diabetes progression, such as patients' glycaemic profile, lipid status, vascular complications and insulin taking (Brundel et al, 2010;Bryan et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2015Chen et al, , 2017Shi et al, 2019). Notably, cortical gyrification, which to the best of our knowledge was never assessed in type 2 diabetes, is an interesting surface feature that was initially suggested to be more specifically influenced by genetic and neurodevelopmental factors (Ronan & Fletcher, 2015).…”
