Bayesian network analysis reveals alterations to default mode network connectivity in individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with abnormal functioning of the default mode network (DMN). Functional connectivity (FC) changes to the DMN have been found in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), which is the prodromal stage of AD. However, whether or not aMCI also a...
