With high-dimensional independent component analysis
(ICA) the resting state (RS) networks typically found
with low-dimensional ICA are decomposed in sub-networks,
giving further insight into functional connectivity
changes in pathological conditions, e.g. in Alzheimer's
disease (AD). We performed temporal analyses of RS-fMRI
data in healthy subjects and AD patients, focusing on
the primarily altered default mode network (DMN) and
exploring the sensory motor network. Low-dimensional
results confirmed literature, while high-dimensional
decomposition in sub-networks was essential to better
localize functional connectivity alterations in AD,
suggesting that the connectivity damage is not confined
to the DMN.
