Magnetic Resonance Imaging Volume of the Angular Gyri Predicts Financial Skill Deficits in People with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

Abstract

Impaired financial abilities in amnestic MCI correspond with volume of the angular gyri as mediated by arithmetic knowledge. The findings suggest that early neuropathology within the lateral parietal region in MCI leads to a breakdown of cognitive abilities that affect everyday financial skills. The findings have implications for diagnosis and clinical care of people with MCI and AD.
