- Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, with no cure to stop its progression. Early detection, diagnosis, and intervention have become the hot spots in AD research. The long asymptomatic and slightly symptomatic phases of autosomal dominant AD (ADAD) allow studies to explore early biomarkers and the underlying pathophysiological changes. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a method to detect abnormal patterns of brain activity and functional connectivity in vivo, which correlates with cognitive decline earlier than structural changes and more strongly than amyloid deposition. Here, we will provide a brief overview of the network-level findings in ADAD in fMRI studies. In general, abnormalities in brain activity were mainly found in the hippocampus, the medial temporal lobe (MTL), the posterior cortex, the cingulate cortices, and the frontal regions in ADAD. Moreover, ADAD and sporadic AD (SAD) have similar fMRI changes, but not with aging.
