Patients with MACS also showed significantly poorer sleep quality, with MACS status and female sex emerging as independent predictors. No group differences were observed in depressive symptoms. Resting-state fMRI revealed altered hippocampal connectivity in MACS, with reduced connectivity with the caudate nucleus and increased connectivity with mesial occipital regions. Voxel-based morphometry showed no structural differences between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Even mild, clinically silent cortisol excess can be associated with subtle cognitive alterations, impaired sleep, and early functional connectivity changes, despite preserved brain morphology.
