Abstract

In this preliminary study, we used magnetoencephalography and an integrative approach to explore the impact of CSF biomarkers, neuropsychological scores, and white matter structural abnormalities on neural function in mild cognitive impairment. Disruption in functional connectivity between several pairs of cortical regions associated with abnormal levels of biomarkers, cognitive deficits, or with impaired axonal integrity of hippocampal tracts. Amyloid deposition and tau protein-related neuronal injury in early Alzheimer's disease are associated with synaptic dysfunction and a dual pattern of cortical network disorganization (i.e., desynchronization and hypersynchronization) that affects key regions of the default mode network and temporal areas.
