Design: Assessment of HANDs with neuropsychological tests.
Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease disrupts the synchronization of electrical activities in brain networks essential for cognitive functions, particularly affecting the fronto-temporal and temporo-parieto-occipital regions.
- A study analyzing EEG from 17 early-stage AD patients showed distinct patterns of synchronization changes, which accurately distinguished patients from controls with up to 94% accuracy.
- The abnormal synchronization patterns correlate with cognitive decline, suggesting that multivariate phase synchronization could serve as a useful biomarker for early Alzheimer's disease.
