Disruption of functional connectivity in clinically normal older adults harboring amyloid burden.

5 Oct 2009 Amyloid deposition is present in 20-50% of nondemented older adults yet the functional consequences remain unclear. The current study found that amyloid accumulation is correlated with functional disruption of the default network as measured by ... Read more...

Task-free presurgical mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging intrinsic activity.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Low-frequency components of the spontaneous functional MR imaging signal provide information about the intrinsic functional and anatomical organization of the brain. The ability to use such methods in individual patients may provide a ... Read more...
