Abstract
Normal cognitive functioning depends on intact connectivity, i.e. communication, within brain networks. This can now be assessed during rest with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Examples of such networks are default mode, sensorimotor, visual, attention, auditory and language, and working memory networks. In type 1 diabetes (T1DM) reduced mental efficiency is common, particularly if microangiopathy is present. We tested the hypothesis that cognitive decrements are associated with alterations in neural connectivity during rest, and that these network changes vary, depending on degree of microangiopathy.
