DMN functional connectivity differences between healthy subjects with significantly different normalized hippocampal volume (NHV) are analyzed in this work. Two groups of 25 subjects have been extracted out of the 632 subjects based on the NHV. A connectivity decrease in the DMN is statistically significant in the group of subjects with lower NHV. Considering that these subjects are more prone to develop AD, we have corroborated that DMN functional changes are an early biomarker for AD, which happen at the same time as structural changes, or maybe even before, because no structural changes in DMN areas have been appraised yet.
