In order to extend the knowledge on the impaired pattern of “where” visual perception in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, we investigated the connectivity of the “where” visual networks in terms of intrinsic interaction in early and late MCI patients. Resting-state functional MRI data of late MCI, early MCI and matched healthy controls from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset were analyzed to investigate the alterations of interregional connections of “where” visual networks. Significant increased interregional connectivties in late MCI patients were found, which may extend the current knowledge on the pattern of visual perceptual impairment in MCI patients.
