Functional NeuroCognitive ImagingTM and Notus NeuroCogsTM: A Novel Use of fMRI in the Assessment of Cognitive Function in Major Neurocognitive Disorder

Abstract: Background: Current diagnostic approaches to MND rely heavily upon the history of present illness and neurocognitive testing with functional neuroimaging playing a minimal role. The use of fMRI as a clinical tool has been limited due to the lack of a standardized protocol of cognitive testing appropriate for the scanning environment and lack of normalized data to which the individual patient can be compared. We therefore present Functional NeuroCognitive Imaging

“…The normative reference atlas makes it possible to search for and verify biomarkers for specific pathologies [ 44 , 45 ]—that is, reliable patterns of deviation from the norm associated with a specific pathology. Our PCS biomarker development followed a 3-step process: biomarker candidate search, independent samples validation, and multivariate base rate discovery.…”

“…EPIC treatment and related imaging components of it have previously been reported in Wing et al [23] and Epps et al [87]. Using functional neurocognitive imaging (fNCI) techniques, areas of deficient neural NVC are targeted for rehabilitation.…”

“…An example of this process is outlined in Figure 1. Also, for an example of the assessment of activation patterns in individual patients compared to the normative atlas in all six fNCI exams as studied by Epps et al [24] (Figures 2 and 3). In order to provide additional reference values for patient analyses below, healthy control subjects were individually evaluated against the group normative data matrix (i.e., a z-score was computed from each healthy control data point).…”

“…As the individual biomarker's false positive rates would compound one another, increasing the potential overall false positive rate, if all five biomarkers were used simultaneously, multivariate base rate analysis was performed and a base rate cutoff matrix was constructed. We adopted a method proposed by Iverson et al [24] where diagnostic values were derived simultaneously from multiple domain scores using multivariate base rate analysis. A uniform cutoff of +/-2 SD (2 nd percentile) was used for the initial false positive rate assessments of each of the five biomarkers.…”
