Interactions of Insula Subdivisions-Based Networks with Default-Mode and Central-Executive Networks in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Interactions between brain networks and their subnetworks are crucial for active and resting cognitive states. Whether a subnetwork can restore the adequate function of the parent network whenever a disease state affects the parent network is unclear. Investigations suggest that the control of the anterior insula-based network (AIN) over the default-mode network (DMN) and central-executive network (CEN) is decreased in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Here, we hypothesized that the posterior insula-based network (PIN) attempts to compensate for this decrease. To test this, we compared a group of MCI and normal cognitive individuals. A dynamical causal modeling method has been employed to investigate the dynamic network controls/modulations. We used the resting state functional MRI data, and assessed the interactions of the AIN and of the PIN, respectively, over the DMN and CEN. We found that the greater control of AIN than that of DMN (Wilcoxon rank sum: Z = 1.987; p = 0.047) and CEN (Z = 3.076; p = 0.002) in normal group and the lower (impaired) control of AIN than that of CEN (Z = 8.602; p = 7.816 x 10-18). We further revealed that the PIN control was significantly higher than that of DMN (Z = 6.608; p = 3.888 x 10-11) and CEN (Z = 6.429; p = 1.278 x 10-10) in MCI group where the AIN was impaired, but that control was significantly lower than of DMN (Z = 5.285; p = 1.254 x 10-7) and CEN (Z = 5.404; p = 6.513 x 10-8) in normal group. Finally, the global cognitive test score assessed using Montreal cognitive assessment and the network modulations were correlated (Spearman’s correlation: r = 0.47; p = 3.76x10-5 and r = -0.43; p = 1.97x10-4). These findings might suggest that the flexible functional profiles of AIN and PIN in normal aging and MCI.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
