Abstract
The cerebellum has been largely overlooked in Alzheimer's disease, despite increasing evidence implicating its cognitive capacities and functional networks, which interacts with cerebral cortex to subserve cognition. A study by Lin et al. has indicated that the cerebellum is part of the integrated network in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a prodromal state of Alzheimer's disease. The aMCI patients exhibited weaker cerebello-parietal functional connectivity but stronger cerebellar coupling with precuneus cortex, posterior cingulate gyrus, and caudate nucleus. These alterations in cerebello-cortical connectivity correlated with cognitive performance, suggesting a dynamic change of cerebello-cortical network related to cognitive change in aMCI.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Alzheimer''s Disease (JAD) is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer''s disease. The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, hypotheses, ethics reviews, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer''s disease.
