Accordingly, a large neuroimaging study was conducted with 258 participants to evaluate associations between patterns of neurodegeneration and focal metabolic metrics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Structural and diffusivity alterations were systematically evaluated in a genetically stratified cohort.

Anatomic correlations between mitochondrial metrics and morphometric change were particularly strong in GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat carriers in\n                      <jats:italic>C9orf72<\/jats:italic>\n                      . Diffusivity analyses also confirmed associations between brain metabolism and microstructural degeneration. Higher focal mitochondria tissue density was associated with higher likelihood of frontal, temporal, cerebellar, opercular, thalamic, cingulum, putamen, corpus callosum, and corona radiata degeneration. Uncinate fasciculus degeneration was associated with higher Complex I, II, COX, and TRC activity. Topological associations were readily replicated in an external validation cohort.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our data indicate that brain regions with high metabolic activity are particularly vulnerable to neurodegeneration in ALS. Anatomic associations between physiological cerebral metabolism and patterns of neurodegeneration implicate mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of ALS. Although mitochondrial dysfunction may not be the primary etiological factor, it may represent a shared bottleneck of multiple converging molecular and genetic pathways, offering a potential opportunity for\u00a0meaningful pharmacological intervention.
