Research Progress of Cerebral Structure and Functional Network Change in Patients with Mild Cognitive Im-pairment (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

This article reviewed the application of different kinds of imaging methods combined with the analysis of brain connectome in mild cognitive impairment. Previous studies demonstrated that the brain worked as the small-world network. In patients with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment, the structure of small-world of network might be changed. According to the different methods, the trend of those changes might be different. This paper reviewed the current situation of the study in mild cognitive impairment through brain network analysis, and emphasized its importance and prospects.
