Do 2-year changes in superior frontal gyrus and global brain atrophy affect cognition?

Metabolic alterations to the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) have been linked to cognitive decline. Whether these indicate structural atrophy, which could be screened for at a larger scale using noninvasive structural imaging, is unknown.
