“…The correlation analysis showed that the zFC value in left middle frontal gyrus（<italic>r=0. 439，P=0. 005</italic>），rightmiddle temporal gyrus（<italic>r</italic>=0. 422，<italic>P</italic>=0. 007），right parahippocampal gyrus（<italic>r</italic>=0. 468，<italic>P</italic>=0. 002） and left precuneus（<italic>r=0. 482，P=0. 002</italic>）were positively correlated with MMSE score，and the zFC value in right anterior cingulate gyruswere positively correlated with AVLT-delayed recall score（<italic>r=0. 362，P=0. 022</italic>）and DST-forward score（<italic>r=0. 503，P=0. 001</italic>），while the zFC value in right precentral gyrus was negatively correlated with TMT-B score（<italic>r=-0. 450，P=0. 004</italic>）.ConclusionThe abnormal FC within DMN of patients with aMCI are associated with cognitive defect in memory，attention，executive functionand audio-visual function. It is speculated that FC changes within DMN may be an imaging biologic indicator for early recognition and diagnosisof AD.…”
