To estimate the neuronal activations during an associative working memory task in patients with cognitive normal (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimers diseases (AD), BOLD and ASL fMRI were studied. The fMRI data during a facename association encoding task were obtained from 25 CN, 19 MCI, and 23 AD subjects with a block design and with three conditions (novel, un-novel, and fixation). The differences of BOLD and ASL fMRI among the three groups were investigated. We found ASL fMRI was useful to estimate the significant difference of neuronal activations for three groups compared to BOLD fMRI.
