Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is inconclusively associated with regional gray matter (GM) abnormalities in Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to quantitatively evaluate whole-brain voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies that have investigated brain GM changes in PD patients with MCI (PD-MCI). Seed-based d Mapping, a well-validated coordinate-based meta-analytic approach, was utilized. We included 20 VBM studies that reported 22 datasets containing 504 patients with PD-MCI and 554 PD patients without MCI (PD-NCI). The most reliable finding identified in this meta-analysis was that patients with PD-MCI exhibited greater GM atrophy in the left anterior insula than those with PD-NCI. Our findings further suggest that several moderators (age, gender, educational level, disease stage, severity of motor disability, and the severity of cognitive impairments) in PD-MCI individuals, as well as scanner field-strength, may drive heterogeneous GM changes across studies. GM abnormalities in the anterior insula, an important cognitive hub involved in switching between neural networks, contribute to understanding the neural substrates of MCI in PD, which may serve as a biomarker of PD-MCI.

Comprehensive international bibliographic biomedical database that enables users to track and retrieve precise information on drugs and diseases from pre-clinical studies to searches on critical toxicological information. It contains bibliographic records with citations, abstracts and indexing derived from biomedical articles in peer reviewed journals, and is especially strong in its coverage of drug and pharmaceutical research. Embase can help with everything from clinical trials research to pharmacovigilance and is updated online daily and weekly. Its broad biomedical scope covers the following areas: * Drug therapy and research, including pharmaceutics, pharmacology and toxicology * Clinical and experimental (human) medicine * Basic biological science relevant to human medicine * Biotechnology and biomedical engineering, including medical devices * Health policy and management, including pharmacoeconomics * Public, occupational and environmental health, including pollution control * Veterinary science, dentistry, and nursing The Embase Application Programming Interface supports export, RSS feeds, and integration services, making it possible to share data with a wide range of systems.
