Abnormal baseline brain activity in Alzheimer's disease patients with depression: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study

摘要

As one of the most common mental disorders and the most important precursor of suicide in Alzheimer's disease (AD), depression is associated with a decline in both well-being and daily functioning. At present, the diagnosis of AD patients with depression (D-AD) is largely dependent on clinical signs and symptoms, and the precise neural correlate underlying D-AD is still not fully understood.
