Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Cortical regions such as parietal area H (PH) and the fundus of the superior temporal sulcus (FST) are involved in higher visual function and may play a role in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), which is frequently associated with hallucinations. The authors evaluated functional connectivity between these two regions for distinguishing participants with DLB from those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and from cognitively normal (CN) individuals to identify a functional connectivity MRI signature for DLB.
