| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated cognitive dysfunction in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) who present hemispheric asymmetries of cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglc) decrease on 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Based on the hemispheric asymmetries of CMRglc decrease in the posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus, and parietotemporal cortex, the patients were divided into three groups (a left-dominant hypometabolism group, a right-dominant hypometabolism group, and a non-dominant hypometabolism group). As a result, there were no significant differences in MMSE and WAIS-III scores among the three groups. In WMS-R, the results indicated that the left-dominant group demonstrated significantly lower scores in verbal memory than the other two groups.
