  Figure 468-02-001.  Iron Homeostasis Imbalance and Cognitive Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes: Insights from Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping
Zhenyu Cheng, Meng Li, Qihao Zhang, Jiaxiang Xin, Jing Li, Nan Zhang, Yiwen Chen, Pengcheng Liang, Changhu Liang, Lingfei Guo
Binzhou Medical University, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China
Impact: This study provides in evidence that iron dysregulation mediates cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes. It highlights quantitative susceptibility mapping as a promising biomarker for early detection, encouraging new research on metabolic–neurodegenerative interactions and preventive strategies for diabetic cognitive impairment.
  Figure 468-02-002.  Assessing the Oxygen Extraction Fraction in Type Ⅱ Diabetes Mellitus and the relationship with cognitive impairment.
Shurong Wu, Fushuai Zhang, Zhenyu Cheng, Yiwen Chen, Pengcheng Liang, Xinxin Huo, Boyao Chen, Jiaxiang xin, Qihao Zhang, Meng Li, Changhu Liang, Lingfei Guo
Binzhou Medical University, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China
Impact: This study highlights the differences of OEF in different brain subregions between healthy controls and patients with T2DM, and explores the association between the OEF of right amygdala and cognitive scores.
  Figure 468-02-003.  Thalamic subregions link Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to slowed processing speed: UK Biobank evidence with Jinan validation
Fushuai Zhang, Nan Zhang, Yenan Che, Zhenyu Cheng, Xinxin Huo, Boyao Chen, Pengcheng Liang, Yiwen Chen, Jiaxiang xin, Meng Li, Lingfei Guo
Binzhou Medical University, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China
Impact: Identification of the mediodorsal medial and paracentral thalamic nuclei provides nucleus-level biomarkers of diabetes-related processing-speed slowing. Partial mediation indicates mechanistic relevance and actionable targets for risk stratification and speed-preserving interventions in at-risk T2DM populations.
  Figure 468-02-004.  Regional Cerebral Perfusion and Cognitive Function are Lower in Type 2 Diabetes with Obesity
Mohamad Elsharydah, Anujit Saha, Jeffrey Schaffert, Jack Kaufman, Jennine Leary, Alison Jin, Jaime Almandoz, Binu Thomas
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States of America
Impact: Regional hypoperfusion in Type 2 Diabetes overlapped with regions implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Treatment with novel tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, likely reduces AD risk by increasing perfusion to the precuneus and neighboring posterior regions, thereby improving cognition.
  Figure 468-02-005.  Genetic Underpinnings of Cortical Volume Changes in Type 2 Diabetes: An Integrative Transcriptional and Neuroimaging Analysis
Xue Zhang, Jing Zhang
Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Lanzhou, China
Impact: This study identified underlying risk genes associated with cerebral cortex volume (CCV) alternations in T2DM by conducting a transcription-neuroimaging association study, which provide insight into genetic underpinnings for CCV change in T2DM.
  Figure 468-02-006.  MRI Volumetric Assessment of Brain Subcortical Deep Grey Nuclei in Type I and Type 2 Diabetes Using Normative Modeling
Mohammed Salman Shazeeb, manojkumar saranathan, Hanan Al-Awadhi, Ahmad Awwad, Arit Banerjee, Batool Alesmaeel, Husain Alsaraf, Anant Mashankar, Dalal Alsaeed, Ebaa Alozairi, Abdulla Alozairi
University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Worcester, United States of America
Impact: Alterations in deep grey matter nuclei in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes offer critical insight into disease-related neurodegeneration. Using normative models enhances sensitivity to subtle volumetric deviations, providing a powerful approach to detect and monitor diabetes-associated brain changes.
  Figure 468-02-007.  Effects of Aging and Type 2 Diabetes on Neurovascular Coupling to Visual Stimulation
Yakun Zhang, Shichun Chen, Kyle Sporn, Daniel Tso, Weiying Dai
The State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, United States of America
Impact: This study demonstrates that healthy aging reduces HRF peak amplitude in the visual cortex, while type 2 diabetes further alters HRF duration, highlighting distinct and additive impairments in neurovascular coupling, with implications for understanding neurovascular contributions to cognitive deficits.
  Figure 468-02-008.  Neuroanatomical Subtypes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Reveal Cortical Heterogeneity with Cognitive and Metabolic Dysfunction
Xiaomei Yue, Shijun Qiu
Guangzhou university of chinese medicine, Guangzhou, China
Impact: This study delineates neuroanatomical heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), demonstrating subtype-specific cortical morphometric similarity network (MSN) alterations associated with cognition and metabolism. These findings advance understanding of T2DM-related brain heterogeneity and may inform future personalized interventions.
  Figure 468-02-009.  Preliminary Study on Left Ventricular Myocardial Microcirculatory Perfusion in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using IVIM Imaging
QING JUN ZHONG, YING WANG, KAI FENG, yang xin, Chen Zhang, YUE Ma
Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China
Impact: Among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM),myocardial microcirculatory dysfunction manifests prior to overt cardiac structural or functional abnormalities, with severity correlating significantly with diabetes duration and glycemic control.IVIM imaging enables detection of these early pathological alterations.
  Figure 468-02-010.  The decrease of CMRO2 was associated with depression severity in Parkinson’s disease with type-2 diabetes mellitus
Zeng Wei, Weiling Cheng, Jiankun Dai, Fuqing Zhou
The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China
Impact: For the first time, our study showed CMRO2 change was associated with depression in PDDM patients. Our study may shed light on why PDDM tends to have more severe depression symptom than PDND.
  Figure 468-02-011.  Evidence of Early Cerebrovascular Dysfunction in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes
Amy Shah, Ryan Brady, Shena Rusk, Mekibib Altaye, Dean Beebe, Mark DiFrancesco
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, United States of America
Impact: This study provides evidence that, even in adolesence, Type-2 diabetes leads to degradation of both peripheral and brain vasculature. Furthermore, the cerebrovascular impact of diabetes extends beyond detrimental effects of obesity. This may impact treatment strategies for pediatric-onset diabetes.
  Figure 468-02-012.  Assessment of Lower-Limb Muscle Elasticity and Viscosity in Type 2 Diabetes Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography
