Red neural por defecto y enfermedad de Alzheimer

Brainfunctioning is mainly intrinsic, notprimarily reflexive. This is supported by the high energy requirements ofthe resting brain (20% ofall the energy consumed) which only marginally increases with changes in brain activity. Modern neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques have led to the di...
