Abstract EN
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is predicted to increase rapidly in the coming decade, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention in patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Recently, remarkable advances have been made in the application of neuroimaging techniques in investigations of AD and MCI.
Among the various neuroimaging techniques, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has many potential advantages, noninvasively detecting alterations in brain function that may be present very early in the course of AD and MCI.
In this paper, we first review task-related and resting-state fMRI studies on AD and MCI.
We then present our recent fMRI studies with additional event-related potential (ERP) experiments during a motion perception task in MCI.
Our results indicate that fMRI, especially when combined with ERP recording, can be useful for detecting spatiotemporal functional changes in AD and MCI patients.
