High attrition rates (78%) for Pattern 1 prevented analysis on the neuroimaging or cognitive data Pattern 2 (55% attrition): subcortical grey matter atrophy over time. Reductions in left parahippocampal gyrus and precuneus and right inferior parietal and temporal gyri, fusiform and lateral occipital gyri thickness over time. No difference in cortical thickness decline compared to controls Pattern 3 (25% attrition): cortical grey matter atrophy over time. Cortical thinning of lateral and medial regions of temporal and parietal lobes, lateral occipital and extending to frontal regions such as the precentral and postcentral gyri and left pars opercularis. Increased cortical thinning in the left pars opercularis and precentral gyri over time compared to healthy controls |
