Functional segregation of executive control network and frontoparietal network in Alzheimer's disease.

Functional connectivity pattern altered of default mode network (DMN) is gaining more attention as a potential noninvasive biomarker to diagnose incipient Alzheimer's disease. However, the changed functional connectivity except for DMN, the longitudinal changes in executive control network (ECN) and frontoparietal network (FPN) also has attracted wide interest. Moreover, AD-related functional connectivity abnormalities within the DMN are well replicated research, but the (increased/decreased and reduced) functional connectivity in ECN and FPN weren't receive adequate attention.

Investigating executive control network and default mode network dysfunction in major depressive disorder.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. Previous investigated the MDD has primarily focused on interpreting the abnormal functional connectivity of different brain regions, rather than entire brain networks.

Evaluating functional connectivity of executive control network and frontoparietal network in Alzheimer's disease.

Investigating the early Alzheimer's disease (AD) more emphasizes sensitive and specific biomarkers, which can help the clinicians to monitor the progression and treatments of AD. Among these biomarkers, default mode network (DMN) functional connectivity is gaining more attention as a potential noninvasive biomarker to diagnose incipient Alzheimer's disease. However, besides changed functional connectivity of DMN, other functional networks haven't yet been examined systematically.
