Objective: To investigate the changes of topological properties of brain functional networks in patients with mild cognitive impairment with different cognitive functional domains. Methods: To collect 31 MCI patients with a summary of MMSE >24 points, MoCA ≤ 25 points and a clinical dementia scale of 0.5. According to the cognitive function domain evaluation scale, five groups of experimental group and matched control group were divided into memory difference, executive ability difference, attention difference, language ability difference and visual space ability difference. The brain function network construction and network topology attribute were analyzed in each group. Results: A threshold of sparsity of the connection matrix, the topological parameters σ of brain functional network in all MCI patients >1, all have small world attributes. The small world parameters of brain function network such as σ and γ in experimental group1 with better memory were significantly higher than those in control group1(p<0.05). The λ、Eloc and Eglob small world parameters of brain function network in the experimental group5 were significantly higher than those in the control group5, and the LP small world parameters were significantly lower than those in the control group5 (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the other MCI patients with different cognitive domains in the small world parameters of brain functional network (p>0.05). Conclusions: Brain functional networks of MCI patients show small world attributes, in which memory and visual space ability are worse MCI patients have network topology destruction, which may be related to the early occurrence of situational memory impairment and spatial cognitive impairment in AD patients. This provides a new neurophysiological mechanism for predicting the possibility of AD and instructs clinicians to strengthen the training of memory and visual space ability in cognitive intervention for MCI patients, which can improve the destruction of brain functional network topology to the greatest extent.
