Intrinsic connectivity identifies the sensory-motor network as a main cross-network between remitted late-life depression- and amnestic mild cognitive impairment-targeted networks

This study identifies the SMN as a cross-network between rLLD- and aMCI-vulnerable networks. The common susceptibility of these diseases to AD is likely due to the breakdown of the cross-network. The results further suggest that interventions targeting the amelioration of sensory-motor deficits in the early course of disease in individuals with AD risk may enhance patient function as AD pathology progresses.
