Functional connectivity patterns of the cerebellar components of intrinsic connectivity networks in clinically diagnosed probable Alzheimer’s disease

Background This study investigated the functional connectivity (FC) patterns of cerebellar components of seven intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) across different stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods FC between each cerebellar seed region corresponding to one of the seven ICNs and 91 cerebral regions of interest (ROI) corresponding to the cortical parcels defined by Harvard–Oxford atlas was calculated for individuals with clinically diagnosed probable AD dementia (n = 21), mild cognitive impairment (n = 34), and subjective cognitive decline (n = 33). Group differences were assessed using ANOVA with false discovery rate (FDR) correction for multiple ROIs (pFDR−corr
