Reduced Hippocampal Functional Connectivity in Alzheimer Disease

Abstract
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia,1,2 characterized by memory impairment progressing to globally impaired cognition.3 As the human lifespan has increased, so too has the prevalence of AD and widespread concern about this disease, encouraging the search for new modes of early identification and intervention. Recently, neuroimaging techniques have proved to be useful disease-monitoring tools,4,5 prompting further research into their utility for early detection.
