The apoliprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is a risk factor
and the ε2 allele is a protective factor for elderly
episodic memory (EM) deterioration. However, neural
bases linking APOE alleles and EM function remain
unclear. This study voxelwisely correlated the
hippocampal functional connectivity strength and EM
score. It demonstrated the divergence of
hippocampal-related network among the three APOE alleles
in the cognitively normal elderly subjects, which may
contribute to the APOE polymorphism effects on brain
activation and associated with their different AD risks.
