“…Within the specific networks described above, the intrinsic functional connectivity was significantly reduced in aMCI patients compared to HE between SUB and the posterior cingulate, right ventromedial prefrontal, and left superior frontal cortex, while no decreased connectivity was found within the CA1 and CA2/3/4/DG networks. Previous studies assessing changes in intrinsic connectivity in AD reported discrepant findings but decreased connectivity within the DMN, and more specifically between the hippocampus and the posterior cingulate cortex was the most consistent finding across studies [Binnewijzend et al, ; Cha et al, ; Chhatwal et al, ; Damoiseaux et al, ; Greicius et al, ; Jones et al, ; Schwindt et al, ; Wu et al, ; Zhou et al, ]. Additionally, previous seed‐based works reported reduced connectivity between the hippocampus and the medial prefrontal, anterior cingulate and temporal cortex, and the cuneus/precuneus in AD [Allen et al, ; Wang et al, ] while the hippocampus was described as disconnected from the inferior parietal and medial prefrontal cortex in MCI [Das et al, ].…”
