This study aimed to investigate the differences in the alteration of the entire brain network functional connectivity of mild and moderate AD patients based on fMRI, taking the cerebellum network into consideration. There have seldom been reports regarding the cerebellum and cerebral connectivity alteration during the progression of clinical AD. Moreover, the cerebellum network functional connectivity is significantly changed in moderate AD, and we further suspected that the cerebellum network is a pivotal one in the progression to the moderate AD stage.
