Abstract

Resting-state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique that has come into increasing use to understand disrupted neural network function in neuropsychiatric disease. However, despite extensive study over the past 15 years, the development of rs-fcMRI as a biomarker has been impeded by a lack of reliable longitudinal rs-fcMRI measures. Here we focus on longitudinal change along the Alzheimer's disease (AD) trajectory and demonstrate the utility of Template Based Rotation (TBR) in detecting differential longitudinal rs-fcMRI change between higher and lower amyloid burden individuals with mildly impaired cognition. Specifically, we examine a small (N = 24), but..
