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.
