(A) The cortex thicknesses are thinner in the superior parietal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, lingual gyrus and paracentral gyrus than other brain regions both in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and normal control (NC) in general. (B) aMCI shows less cortical thickness (CT) than NC when age increases but no significant difference is found between groups (p = 0.122). There is significant difference within group of aMCI when age increases (p = 0.014), while there is no significant difference within group of NC when age increases (p = 0.747). (C) The ROI-based analysis of CT revealed that the left postcentral gyrus (PoCG.L), the left inferior parietal gyrus (IPG.L), the left precuneus (PCUN.L) and the upside right supramarginal gyrus (SMG.RU) were significant group differences (p < 0.05) between the aMCI and the NC groups with the aMCI having thinner cortex than the NC. In addition, the left superior temporal gyrus (STG.L), the left insula (INS.L), the low side right supramarginal gyrus (SMG.RL) and the right fusiform gyrus (FFG.R) exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) larger thickness in the aMCI compared with the NC.
