Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients perform poorly on
tasks that require interhemispheric communication, which
suggests a deficit in the interhemispheric integration
of information. To investigate the relationship between
the interhemisphere functional deficits and degeneration
of the white matter connections in the AD, we
quantitatively measured interhemispheric functional
connectivity using resting-state fMRI and voxel-mirrored
homotopic connectivity method, together with the brain
diffusion parameters with diffusion tensor imaging in
the AD and mild cognitive impairment patients and
compared with those in the cognitive normal healthy
controls.
