Cognitive and MRI trajectories for prediction of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract The concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is used to describe the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and identification and treatment before further decline is an important clinical task. We selected longitudinal data from the ADNI database to investigate how well normal functio...
