Key findings
- The results demonstrate that functional connectivity can be an effective marker for the detection of changes in brain function in MCI subjects.
Why it matters
This study found that measuring functional connectivity in the fusiform gyrus can detect changes in brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment. It is about a possible diagnostic marker, not about treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
