Dynamic Synergy Network Analysis Reveals Stage-Specific Regional Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease by Xiaoyan Zhang, Chao Han, Jingbo Xia, Lingli Deng, Jiyang Dong

“…<b>Result:</b> The key finding are as follows: (1) synergy metrics exhibited lower intra-group coefficient of variation than mutual information metrics, indicating higher computational stability; (2) single-sample reconstruction significantly enhanced the statistical power in intergroup difference detection; (3) synergy metrics captured brain network features that are undetectable by traditional mutual information methods, with more pronounced differences between networks; (4) key node analysis demonstrated spatiotemporal degradation patterns progressing from initial dysfunction in orbitofrontal–striatal–temporoparietal pathways accompanied by multi-regional impairments during prodromal stages, through moderate-phase decline located in the right middle frontal and postcentral gyri, to advanced-stage degeneration of the right supramarginal gyrus and left inferior parietal lobule. …”
