At first we intended to estimate the activation during performnce of cognitive task however we changed the manner of experiment to the resting-state fMRI scanning. Compared to MCI patients, AD patients showed the decrease connectivity from Default Mode Network to the other networks. In present we followed these patients and cheking the effectiveness of the drug.
